The woman in the martial arts attire stared blankly at the now dark screen, her pupils dimming, devoid of spirit.
"Hehe~ dead!" Freya's lips twitched slightly, her eyes slightly lifting, as calm as a dead pond, but in the next instant, the surging bloodlust under the pond's surface violently erupted!
Her robe's red shadow left a streak of electric light in its place. Her figure instantly appeared above the thin man's head,
A blood-red long saber, carrying a horrifying sonic boom, chopped down heavily!
The tall, thin man clasped his hands together firmly around the blade, a red shockwave blasting out from the center of the two people—
Cracks appeared on the specially made metallic walls surrounding the corridor, even showing signs of collapsing.
Sizzle—The thin man's leg muscles tensed as he planted his feet, but he still slid back ten centimeters, leaving a shallow pit in the ground.
A fierce wind blew, and Xia Feng's black hair wildly fluttered backward. He squinted at the battlefield, and it must be said, Ms. Fu was indeed fierce. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
Clearly not using Spiritual Clothes or a Spiritual Artifact, but forcefully producing the attack effect of a B-level Spiritual Clothes.
At that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently again, the already crumbling ground and walls further cracked.
"Having found the recording and learned of Freya's sister's death, Mu Qingtong arrived at the rare potion lab, quickly concocted a spiritual energy bomb that intensified pain and scattered it throughout the underground. In a breathtaking moment as she escaped underground, she detonated it,
causing cumulative 60T of pain to the group targets. Under the effect of the Unity Bomb, the pain was multiplied by ten, causing 600T of pain, leading to the death of the group targets, and you gained 60 points of strength increase...."
"Current strength: 1009"
So, this is what power feels like... Xia Feng felt incredibly refreshed, as if the locks on his genes were further unlocked, attaining an unparalleled sublimation.
The ground trembled, and Freya's figure was flung backward, slamming into the wall with a bang.
Although Freya was slightly better than Berner, she couldn't withstand being outnumbered, especially since subject 104's physical strength and combat ability were no less than Berner's.
Freya gradually began to lose ground, blood seeping from the corner of her lips as she slid down from the wall, looking up.
Dust filled the air, and the thin man and subject 104 stepped out of the smoke and dust.
Seeing this, Xia Feng knew it wasn't the time to just watch anymore; after all, Freya was still no match against multiple opponents.
However, according to the current intelligence, although it wasn't clear what Ms. Fu's exact identity was, she was definitely affiliated with the Lidong Army.
Of course, the most crucial was the title "Your Highness," a term of honor that not many in the Empire could claim.
In the time before the Empire was unified, when there was still an emperor as the sole supreme ruler, "Your Highness" was generally used for princes and princesses.
Based on Xia Feng's knowledge, among the upper seven families of the Empire, two super-great clans, the Golden Sparrow and the Yeli family, of which the Yeli family was indeed the remnant bloodline of the ancient Great Li dynasty.
Thus, the Yeli family was also known as the Ye Li Royal Family.
The Venerable of the Lidong Army, a member of the Ye Li Royal Family.
In thought, Xia Feng didn't hesitate; he plunged a knife directly into his own chest, killing himself to enter the Nirvana State.
"Your Highness, my apologies."
Berner twisted his neck, his gaze calm: "Now that Your Highness has walked into the trap, please don't blame your subordinate for being impolite! After all, this subordinate hopes that Your Highness can soon produce an heir."
As he spoke, he and Subject 104's figures flashed simultaneously, rapidly closing in on Freya.
But at that moment, a figure in white quietly appeared right in front of Berner, his black pupils calmly lifted, effortlessly catching his punch with a palm, bang—
The white robe fluttered, catching the punch with a palm, waves of energy forcefully spreading out.
Berner's pupils narrowed, gradually growing darker as he stared at the young man who had suddenly appeared.
On another front, after the long saber cleaved open another big man's head and pushed back subject 104, Freya moved aside, her beautiful eyes somewhat surprised as she looked toward Xia Feng and Berner.
"She knew very well that it had been less than five months since Xia Feng became a Spirit Master."
"Previously, she boldly guessed that Xia Feng should be able to handle a Third Rank Spirit Master."
"But what the hell is this easiness in dealing with a General Fifth now? Even without using Spiritual Clothes, just fighting with the physical strength of level 5 is outrageous!"
Freya felt somewhat bewildered. Had this student grown to this extent?
What Freya didn't know was that Xia Feng's physical strength had actually only reached the standard of Fourth Rank, but under the effect of the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor being tripled.
1009 directly soared to 3027, far exceeding the General Fifth Power Value standard of 2000.
Berner hadn't expected the boy hiding on the side to have such strength, his face darkened as he swiftly retreated.
If it were just Freya alone, that would be one thing, but having another equally matched opponent meant there was no chance of winning.
Berner didn't hesitate at all, turned his head and ran, making his way back to the core laboratory, simultaneously locking the door to buy some time.
To his surprise, on the high platform in the core laboratory, the Maine Cat's body lit up with a brilliant golden glow, quickly gathering into countless dense, mysterious golden characters that converged at the brow of the Maine Cat, forming an S-shaped pattern.
Berner's eyes slightly brightened, after preparing for so long and spending so much spiritual material, the Enlightenment Trace had finally formed!
He took a step instantly, breaking through the glass room and approached the Maine Cat.
The Maine Cat slowly lifted its eyelids; its golden pupils disdainfully looked down at the slim man, arrogantly saying,
"Human, I told you long ago, only a true genius can earn my recognition!"
"So even if you helped me form the Enlightenment Trace, it's useless. Don't think acting like a sycophant will make me think highly of you!"
The cat's tone was supremely arrogant, full of mockery.
But Berner just gave a light smile, unconcerned; his thoughts moved, and he immediately summoned his Spiritual Artifact.
A drop of golden liquid appeared in the palm of his hand, merging into his brow.
"Restricted skill · Unity of Intellect: You can unite all possible inspirations and intellect you may have in your life into this moment. For the next month, you will experience being an unmatched genius across all ages. After one month, your intelligence and lifespan will permanently decrease by 10%, and your intellect and inspiration about learning new things will be permanently lost by 80%. For example, you won't be able to learn D Level Spiritual Clothes again, and it might take several years to possibly learn N Level Spiritual Clothes."
"Note: The maximum intellect obtainable—the limit of the most talented person's intellect in the river of time."
This Spiritual Artifact could only be used once in a lifetime, and it had severe side effects, making it impossible for him to learn new Spiritual Clothes or even advance his Spiritual Pressure in the future.
But compared to mastering and perfecting an A Level Spiritual Clothes, this was a small issue!
After all, during this month of a super-genius experience, not only could he master A Level Spiritual Clothes, but he could also refine the structure of his Spiritual Particles, making his Spiritual Pressure truly reach the conditions of the True Fifth Realm.
As for reaching the Venerable Realm afterward, there was no need to dream about it.
Berner was very self-aware, knowing that although he had some talent, advancing to Venerable was almost impossible.
So rather than wasting time continuing to stagnate, why not go all-in with the A Level Spiritual Clothes to achieve true prowess!
You should know, learning A Level Spiritual Clothes is the basic requirement for stepping into the True Fifth Realm from General Fifth.
If he couldn't learn A Level Spiritual Clothes, even if his Spiritual Pressure reached the True Fifth Realm, it would be useless.
At most, he would have a higher quantity of Spiritual Particles, making the fights last longer, but without powerful attack Spiritual Clothes, his combat power would still not leap qualitatively.
As Berner absorbed the Intellect Droplet, his pupils simultaneously lit up with countless stars.
The Maine Cat on the high platform was momentarily stunned, its originally cold and arrogant eyes humanly revealing surprise as it looked at the man in front of it.
Seeing the Maine Cat's expression, Berner felt inexplicably pleased—yesterday you were indifferent to me, today I'm out of your reach!
"How about it, am I qualified now?" he said with a casual smile.
Though somewhat slapped in the face, a genius deserved special treatment! The Maine Cat was excited inside, coughed, and clicked its tongue nodding, "Barely."
But as the words fell, it hesitated, its gaze turning towards the tightly closed high door.
