I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 37: World War

Morning

Just when Jiang Hou thought today would pass uneventfully, after two classes, Zong Zheng Nan Mo snuck back, whispering, "Jiang Hou, big news."

"What, a world war?" Jiang Hou, pondering the evening’s plans to explore the cracks, was momentarily startled.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo shook his head, "No, it’s that someone saw Li Mengwu and Jiang Chong arguing."

"Uh... that counts as big news?" Jiang Hou was speechless; he thought it was another scoop from the Western Continent Alliance, but it turned out to be Jiang Chong and Li Mengwu’s quarrel.

What does that have to do with them?

Though Jiang Hou wasn’t interested, Zong Zheng Nan Mo continued enthusiastically.

"Since the first year of high school, the wealthy and handsome Jiang Chong and the beautiful, academic Li Mengwu have been recognized as the class’s golden couple."

"This guy is smart enough to avoid confessing and risking friendship fallout, so for two years he’s stayed close to Li Mengwu as ’just friends.’"

"Thus, others are hindered by his presence and can’t overtly pursue Li Mengwu."

"And the guy even formed a little group with a few sycophants, inviting Li Mengwu out for fun and gatherings every day, further reducing the chances for other boys."

"Now hearing that they argued is truly a relief, hehehe..." Zong Zheng Nan Mo was gleefully gloating.

Jiang Hou was puzzled, "You don’t even like Li Mengwu, why are you so happy?"

"Though I’m not interested in girls like Li Mengwu, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the spectacle; these gossip tidbits are the most intriguing."

... What kind of habit is that. Jiang Hou shook his head.

In the afternoon, after school, the two went straight to Room 501.

Then they saw a handsome-haired girl with long black hair, dressed in a black windbreaker, lazily sitting by the window reading a book with an unclear catalog.

"President, did you see yesterday’s Western Continent Alliance news?"

As soon as he entered the room, Zong Zheng Nan Mo eagerly asked.

Jiang Ruochan didn’t look up, her tone indifferent, "Speak, what do you want to know?"

Ahem... Zong Zheng Nan Mo coughed lightly, still curious, "President, yesterday’s news about those two Transcendents flying into the air, blasting the missiles, what tier are they?"

"One of them had a Celestial Demon Awakening, the other was on the Path of the War Witch, both are Tier Seven Saint-level powerhouses."

"Tier Seven! Tier Seven is that powerful?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was startled, somewhat amazed; he initially thought those powerhouses standing in the air were Tier Eight or Nine.

Jiang Ruochan said flatly, "The higher the tier in the Transcendent rank, the more exorbitantly each tier’s gap magnifies tenfold or dozens of times."

"Especially when mastering a domain at Tier Seven, the domain unfolds can suppress all who lack one, making them virtually unbeatable."

"So powerful..." Zong Zheng Nan Mo gaped.

But compared to Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s shock, Jiang Hou wasn’t much surprised; he had long noticed this issue.

For instance, the basic strength of the Early-tier Two flesh side is seven hundred kilograms, peaking at one thousand two, but the Tier Three Peak arm strength has reached five thousand, equivalent to five tons.

One thousand two and five thousand seem to have only a fourfold gap in data, but it results in tens of times strength increase.

A regular person with a hundredfold physique can move over a hundred meters per second, and with kinetic energy enhancement and Talent Ability breakout, five-ton arm strength can explode into tens or even hundreds of tons of impact force.

And this force is concentrated on the fist-sized surface area.

Faster speed, stronger explosive power, instantly killing any Early-tier Two Transcendent who fails to react, even if ten Tier Twos join forces, it’s all the same.

It’s not a data contrast, it’s a complete crush.

Instead of being curious about those Transcendents’ tiers, Jiang Hou was more concerned about another matter, "President, does the conflict caused by the Western Continent Alliance affect us?"

"You actually care about this issue."

Jiang Ruochan was a bit surprised, said while pondering slightly, "It can be said the impact is significant; this conflict may be the precursor to a world war outbreak."

"World war, aren’t those two countries not far from us?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was disoriented.

Jiang Ruochan nodded, "They are far, but Abudan is our wartime ally, Kammon is one of the defense member states founded by the Bauhinia Federation."

"Moreover, the Demon Dragon Divine Hall has also intervened in the war, violating the basic rule set by the three major Transcendent Powers that ’Transcendents shall not interfere in modern warfare’."

"Therefore, this seems like fifteen Western Continent Alliance countries besieging two small nations, but in reality, it’s a confrontation between the three top global organizations and Transcendent forces."

"Currently, the authorities have begun mobilizing military supplies, and Heaven’s Punishment is also withdrawing personnel from various branches, preparing to rally with the official Transcendent army to head to the front lines."

Jiang Hou paused, "Starting support so early?"

"No choice."

Jiang Ruochan shook her head, "If we don’t provide immediate support, Abudan’s army will break through within two days, wiped out, becoming a defunct state."

"You folks haven’t seen what it’s like when high-tier Transcendents appear on the battlefield, totally one-sided crushing."

"For example, let’s talk about flesh-side Transcendents, Tier Five normal movement speed exceeds two hundred meters per second, making missiles impossible to lock on amid complex terrains."

"As for normal bomb and bullet gunfire, they simply ignore them, can’t break the defense at all."

"Long-distance raid through forests hundreds of kilometers in an hour, peak arm strength of two hundred tons, Gang Energy protection, Talent Ability boost, with a thousand-ton punch nothing defensively offensive can withstand."

"And in contrast to the flesh side, the energy side Transcendents mastering various supernatural elements have more means, abilities strange and defensive of none."

"Imagine on the battlefield dozens to hundreds of Tiers Five and Six Transcendents, what can a modern army do other than wide-scale bombing to resist?"

Hiss! Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo both drew a sharp breath, as there was indeed no way to resist.

"Of course, you don’t need to worry too much, our Bauhinia Federation is sure to intervene, the turmoil won’t reach here for now." Jiang Ruochan finally assured with one last note.

Next, Zong Zheng Nan Mo asked more questions.

But mostly Jiang Ruochan dismissed them with excuses like their weak strength providing no benefit from knowing.

At five o’clock, Jiang Ruochan took a call and left early, announcing today’s club activities ended early, so Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo packed up together and departed.

Just as they walked out of the school gate, Zong Zheng Nan Mo pointed far off, "Jiang Hou, look quickly."

"What’s up."

Jiang Hou looked toward the other end of the street, seeing a black luxury extended car parked at the intersection dozens of meters away, with Li Mengwu and Jiang Chong standing on roadside.

The handsome Jiang Chong said something, but Li Mengwu ignored him, opened the car door, and got in.

Soon, the black luxury car started up, leaving behind Jiang Chong with a face of bitter laughter.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo touched his chin, "That car, if I’m not mistaken, is the limited edition Black Dragon Collection released last year, priced at twelve million a unit."

"Unexpectedly, Li Mengwu usually keeps a low profile, but her family background isn’t simple either." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Jiang Hou shook his head, "... Zong Zheng, with your fondness for gossip, don’t become a Daoist; being a paparazzo after graduation is more promising."

"Let’s go." Saying that, Jiang Hou waved to him and turned to leave.
