Chapter 215: Chapter 192: It’s This Super Cat Again

The famous modern novelist Xin Yi once said when accepting the Best Outstanding Youth Award: "There’s a type of coincidence I call ’manufactured.’ If I say it’s a coincidence... then it has no choice but to be one!"

Just like Gao Neng’s current situation...

What a coincidence!

The spot where he and Fang Tangtang burst out was, by sheer coincidence, directly beneath the feet of one of Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang’s personal guards.

As the Elf Queen’s most beloved Princess, and one who was still unmarried, it went without saying that her personal guards would be female. There was no doubt about that.

Moreover, this personal guard was in a hurry.

Her attention was completely focused on the Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang.

Naturally, she never would have imagined...

...that someone would pop out from under her skirt, would she?

Right?

BOOM! A loud explosion rang out.

Gao Neng charged out, bringing Fang Tangtang with him.

He looked up and saw two long legs right above his head, along with a layer of thin gauze that obscured the sky, hazily blocking the setting sun.

’What the?!’ Gao Neng was startled. ’There’s someone above me? No, an elf?! This is a colossal screw-up.’

’Luckily, I can still fix this.’

So, upon sensing danger, he instinctively controlled the Earth Dragon’s scythe-like claws and sliced forcefully between the two long legs.

"AHHH!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, accompanied by a spray of fresh blood.

The Seventh Princess’s personal guard hadn’t even had time to react before a piercing pain shot through her, boring into her very marrow and relentlessly assaulting her brain.

And then...

...there was no "and then."

Because she had been sliced in two.

"???" Fang Tangtang.

"Meow?" Gao Xiaomeng.

"..." Gao Neng.

’The world after the Great Cataclysm really is treacherous.’

’The moment I get out, it’s a bloodbath I can’t even avoid. All I wanted was to come up for some fresh air and fire off a few shots to blow off some steam.’

’Why does it have to be so intense right from the start?’

Gao Neng was a little dazed.

Meanwhile, Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang and her other three personal guards were stunned.

’We were ambushed?’

’And right outside the gates of the Dark Night Elf City?!’

’Most importantly, we just left the city, not even a kilometer away... The enemy was actually lying in ambush underground this whole time. How long were they hiding?’

’And one more critical question: how did they know I was leaving the city?!’

"Why is this happening?!" Even if she racked her brains, Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang couldn’t figure it out. She knew this trip out of the city would be dangerous, but she never imagined the danger would come so quickly.

’They killed a Tier Four female guard in a single blow?!’

’They’re so strong!’

The white dress on Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang fluttered gently. Her eyes were fixed on the man, woman, and cat that had just emerged from the ground.

’Such exaggerated energy fluctuations! Even from five meters away, I can feel that immense energy! The man’s energy fluctuations are incredibly strong, and so are the woman’s. Even that cat... is no exception!’ Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang’s thoughts raced as she recalled how they had just killed a Tier Four guard in one hit.

She was now certain...

...that the man, woman, and cat before her were not opponents she and her remaining guards could handle.

"It’s humans!"

"There’s an assassin!"

"Seventh Princess, run!"

The three guards immediately moved to block Wu Dingxiang.

Wu Dingxiang had thought about running.

But Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang were blocking the way back to the Elf City gate. Where could she run at a time like this? Forward?

"Wow, we ran into a Princess?" Fang Tangtang was equally astonished when she heard the guards’ words.

’The Seventh Princess? The same one Fang Tangtang impersonated before?’ Gao Neng was genuinely speechless. He hadn’t just run into a group of elves; it was the Seventh Princess herself?

’What are the odds!’

’How could it be this coincidental?’

As Gao Neng thought this, he glanced at the young elf maiden behind the three guards. In an instant, he was struck by her otherworldly beauty.

Ethereal, transcendent, with features as delicate as a painting.

If not for the faint trace of seductiveness at the corners of the Seventh Princess’s eyes, he would have said her beauty was nearly on par with Shen Ning’Er’s.

’So, that raises the question...’

’They seem to think I’m really strong. Should I scare them off, or finish them off?’

Gao Neng hesitated.

’The Seventh Princess!’

’Plus three personal guards... they can’t be that weak, right?’

Just as he was thinking this, the mechanical voice of the Silly System suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Enemy detected. Activate ’Stare at You’ ability?"

’I can use ’Stare at You’ on enemies?’ Gao Neng was surprised. He hadn’t even had a chance to read the ability’s description yet, but a prompt was already appearing?

’Might as well activate it!’

’Let’s see what this ’Stare at You’ ability can do!’

"Activate!"

"Activating ’Stare at You’!"

"Deducting Alliance Coins: 10,000 x 4 = 40,000 Alliance Coins total."

"!!!" Gao Neng.

’It used up forty thousand just like that?!’

’For a single stare!’

’What the hell is this thing?’

Gao Neng was certain the Seventh Princess wasn’t pregnant, because he had subconsciously glanced at her abdomen—it was flat, not looking pregnant at all.

’Besides, I’m not that fast, am I?’

Just as he was thinking, a line of information appeared above the Seventh Princess’s head.

Name: Wu Dingxiang

Identity: Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan.

Strength: Tier Four Early Stage.

Mastered Skills: Swift Body Technique (Beginner), Frostbolt Archery (Adept), Acting (85 points).

Strengths: Ranged assassination.

Weaknesses: Weak in close combat. (Due to a strictly formal training regimen, her defense of vital areas such as the chest and thighs is poor.)

It wasn’t just the Seventh Princess who had information above her head.

The other three personal guards had similar information panels above their heads as well.

’Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang is Tier Four Early Stage, and the other three guards are two Tier Four Mid Stage and one Tier Four Late Stage... They’re all Tier Four?!’ Gao Neng was genuinely shocked as he read this information.

However, that wasn’t the main point.

’The main point is that ’Stare at You’ can directly reveal an enemy’s information?!’

’And it even shows their strengths and weaknesses? This is basically a bug-level ability! I never thought ’Stare at You’ would be this powerful.’

’Let’s do it! Four Tier Fours... We can take them!’ Gao Neng’s hesitation vanished. Now that he knew their strength and weaknesses, and he himself had already broken through to Tier Three, running now? That would be unmanly.

’I have to take them out!’

’And while I’m at it... blow off some steam!’

"Fang Tangtang, quick, take a Seed Burst Pill! There are four Tier Fours! We need to end this fast!" Gao Neng shouted, simultaneously popping a Seed Burst Pill into his own mouth.

The energy consumption of a Seed Burst Pill was immense.

Right now, his body was overflowing with energy, making it the perfect time to vent it.

As soon as he swallowed the Seed Burst Pill...

...Gao Neng felt the stored energy in his body begin to combust, like a pile of dry wood set ablaze, and immense power radiated outward.

"Four Tier Fours?" Fang Tangtang froze for a moment. She actually wanted to ask, ’How do you know that?’ But in the end, she didn’t say it.

Because she felt like she was about to explode.

When she heard Gao Neng tell her to take a Seed Burst Pill, she immediately thought of it as a solution.

’That’s right, a Seed Burst Pill!’

’Won’t that accelerate my energy consumption?’

’I’ll take it first and worry later.’

Fang Tangtang quickly swallowed the Seed Burst Pill and, at the same time, took out her weapon.

The latest product developed by the Celestial King Group.

The No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon!

"Seventh Princess, run!" the three personal guards shouted.

Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang finally snapped back to reality. Without any more hesitation, she immediately turned and fled, sprinting away from the city.

At that moment, Fang Tangtang hoisted the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon onto her shoulder.

"I, Death God Fang Tangtang, will fire five shots today!"

"BZZZT!"

Blue currents of electricity flowed over her body, forming a massive Electromagnetic Protective Shield. Then, a pillar of blue light shot out.

"BOOM!"

One of the guards was pierced through the body.

Her eyes were wide with disbelief, even in death.

The other two guards were also terrified. They quickly scattered, then charged toward Fang Tangtang, intending to kill her in close combat.

Gao Neng wouldn’t give them the chance.

He was at his peak right now.

Drawing his Horse-Cutting Saber, he slashed down at the remaining Tier Four Mid Stage guard.

"BOOM!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The guard was sent flying back by the strike.

Gao Neng, meanwhile, activated his Lifeform Transformation again.

He sheathed his saber, then drew it again.

Another slash!

This strike directly brought the Tier Four Mid Stage guard to her knees.

Just then, the Tier Four Late Stage guard reached Fang Tangtang. Sharp, vicious claws grew from her hands.

"SWOOSH!"

Fang Tangtang didn’t even have a chance to reload before she was forced back.

"Gao Xiaomeng, make your move! Go help Fang Tangtang and end this fight quickly!" Gao Neng couldn’t afford to hide his strength anymore. He was certain they were not far from the Dark Night Elf City.

Firing a cannon in a place like this...

...would definitely be noticed by those inside the Dark Night Elf City.

They had to end this fast.

’Otherwise, if you’re dead, what’s the point of hiding your strength?’

"MEOW!" Gao Xiaomeng immediately shot forward. Her body puffed up like a rubber ball, and she pounced right onto the face of the Tier Four Late Stage guard.

"MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW!"

"SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!"

A few meows, mixed with a few swipes of her claws.

The Tier Four Late Stage guard’s face was instantly shredded.

’No way... Gao Xiaomeng got this strong?’ Gao Neng had originally just wanted Gao Xiaomeng to buy some time. After all, Gao Xiaomeng was a ball, an indestructible ball.

But he never expected Gao Xiaomeng to be able to injure a Tier Four Late Stage guard head-on.

This was truly a bit beyond his expectations.

’Trouble!’

’Gao Xiaomeng is this strong?!’

’How am I going to explain this to Fang Tangtang?’

’Should I say she’s a super-duper cat?’

"Whoa, Gao Neng, your cat is amazing! What kind of cat is she?" Fang Tangtang had also noticed how special Gao Xiaomeng was by now. The speed of that pounce was truly fast.
