Chapter 181: Chapter 170: A Familiar Feeling, a Sharp Pain

This feeling was all too familiar, just like being inside the magnetic pile. The sensation of having the world in his grasp was truly wonderful.

Of course, the power of the Seed Burst Pill was still a bit different from that of the magnetic pile.

Just as the Melon Peel System had said before, the power of the magnetic pile was more like a "medium," but the power of the Seed Burst Pill was more of a catalyst.

It stimulated his own power...

Or rather, it burned it!

Gao Neng felt the speed of his blood flow triple, while the energy in his magnetic core was stimulated, continuously radiating outward.

’Energy projection! This is the power of the middle tier. Did I just get forcibly boosted to the middle tier?!’ Gao Neng’s knowledge was far greater than before, so he naturally knew this was energy being projected from his magnetic core.

A single Seed Burst Pill allowed for energy projection.

’It truly is a piece of black tech from the Celestial King Group, worthy of its 20 million Alliance Coin price tag!’

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Fang Tangtang’s face was also flushed red. However, she lacked his clarity. Instead, she looked drunk as she charged forward, swinging the massive Scythe of Death like a whirlwind.

"Witness the Ninety-Nine Consecutive Slash of Death God Fang Tangtang!"

"..." Gao Neng was speechless.

’What the hell?’

’We both took a Seed Burst Pill, so why did Fang Tangtang end up like this?’

Of course, there was no time to dwell on it. As Fang Tangtang charged, several of the non-humans attacked again.

The scythe swung.

The air whistled and shrieked.

Fang Tangtang’s power seemed to have been massively enhanced. Although she wasn’t using any energy projection techniques, her strength, speed, and explosive power had all been greatly boosted.

BOOM!

The ground cracked.

At this moment, Fang Tangtang was like a wolf charging into a pack of huskies, creating the illusion that she could take on two of them at once.

"Kill her!"

BOOM!

A Tier Three Late Stage non-human was sent flying by a single slash just after shouting the order.

"Hahaha... I, Death God Fang Tangtang, will take on a hundred of you today!" Having landed a successful blow, Fang Tangtang’s confidence surged, and she charged at the two Middle-tier Women once more.

Seeing this, the two Middle-tier Women’s expressions turned grim. They both attacked, intending to surround and kill Fang Tangtang.

However, just then, a slab of iron like a guillotine blade dropped from the wall.

Gao Neng had made his move.

He didn’t know what had changed about Fang Tangtang.

But the change in him was obvious.

With his 100% talent, he possessed far greater energy control than others. Once he could project his energy, he could easily control his surroundings.

The steel rebar from the building’s construction was forcibly extracted.

It formed into a guillotine blade.

BOOM!

The two Middle-tier Women were forced back.

The instant they were forced back, iron bars sprouted from the ground like thorns, continuously lashing out at the two Middle-tier Women.

"I’ll take the middle-tiers! You take the rest!" Gao Neng shouted.

"You got it!" Fang Tangtang didn’t argue.

"He actually used the Spring of Life to reach the middle tier in such a short time?!" A red light flickered in the eyes of the snake-skinned man, his sense of alarm palpable.

As for Ye Ying... her face was currently a little pale.

Gao Neng’s surge in power reminded her of something unpleasant. Inexplicably, she felt a sharp, stabbing pain in a certain... spot.

She looked down.

Her jaw dropped. At some point, an Iron Thorn had sprouted from beneath her feet and pierced right into... that spot.

"AHH!!" Ye Ying let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"What a tragic sound..." The corners of Gao Neng’s mouth turned up as he smiled at the nearby Ye Ying. "It reminds me of a poem: ’Listening to the spring rain from a small tower all night.’ A pity... you’re no spring rain!"

"Kill them!" Ye Ying shrieked.

"You’ll have to be able to, first!" Gao Neng retorted with contempt. He felt absurdly powerful right now.

’Everything is under my control!’

’What are two Middle-tier Women? What’s one snake-skinned man?’

Before a super-genius like Gao Neng...

Dogs should kneel.

And dragons should cower.

"Today, none of you are walking out of here!" Gao Neng drew his blade, holding it at the ready.

"Huh?! Gao Neng, how can you extract energy from so far away? Is your energy being projected? Why isn’t mine? And how is your projection so powerful?" Just as Gao Neng was reveling in his arrogance, Fang Tangtang’s astonished voice cut in.

"Isn’t this normal?" Gao Neng was slightly startled. ’Once you can project energy, you can extract all kinds of Elemental Energy from your surroundings. Is there a problem with that?’

"Is it normal? What’s your iron talent percentage?"

"I’m not telling you!" Gao Neng paid Fang Tangtang no more mind. After unleashing his energy projection, he had discovered a small problem.

’The energy consumption is huge!’

’Even greater than when I was inside the magnetic pile!’

If not for the vast amount of energy stored in his magnetic core, those last couple of moves would have likely drained him completely under normal circumstances.

’The Seed Burst Pill doesn’t truly raise one’s strength.’

’It just forcibly burns and releases energy in a short burst. This state can’t be maintained for long. I have to kill these non-humans as quickly as possible.’

"Lady Nightingale, Gao Neng used the power of the Spring of Life to reach the middle tier! You must leave first!" the snake-skinned man yelled as he made his move.

"I’m leaving them to you!" Ye Ying roared, forcibly ripping out the Iron Thorn that had pierced her body. Then, she leaped, preparing to jump out the window.
