C67 Growth

It was already noon.

Liu Sishan and the others got up one after another.

No.08 Base had a kitchen, and it even stored a lot of food.

However, no one was in the mood to cook. They all sat on the long table in the dining room and chewed on the compressed energy bars.

Zhang Ping sensed Liu Sishan's position and came out of the room. He went straight to the dining room and saw everyone sitting together and chewing on the compressed energy bars. He then sat beside Liu Sishan and took out a few buns from the gold bracelet. While eating, he took off the gold bracelet and placed it in the middle of the table.

"Is there anything else? Give me one." Zhang Shouzhong saw that Zhang Ping was eating buns and immediately felt that the compressed energy bars in his hands were no longer fragrant.

Zhang Ping looked at the gold bracelet and then looked at Liu Sishan. Zhang Shouzhong looked at Liu Sishan and sighed helplessly. He continued to chew on the compressed energy bars.

"Captain, what should we do to solve the crisis of Pearl City?" Liu Sishan looked at the bracelet and put down the compressed energy bars in his hand. He asked seriously.

Situ Shibai replied, "Don't worry, take it slow."

"How can we take it slow? Captain, is there really no way to save you?" Lu Han frowned and said.

Situ Shibai laughed and said, "Haha, this is a choice that I made after careful consideration. If I don't hold back the Sky Fox Clan's king, there will only be two outcomes. And these two outcomes are not what I want to see."

“What kind of situation is this?” Zhang Shouzhong asked as he drank a mouthful of water and chewed on the energy bar.

Situ Shibai replied, “The first outcome is that you failed to stop the guests from Pearl Peak. In that case, Pearl City will fall into the hands of Lee Aoxue, and at least fifty percent of the Awakened will die in the civil war. The second outcome is that you successfully stopped the guests from Pearl Peak, but I left Pearl City in advance. The Sky Fox King will personally deal with the experts and the newcomers who have revealed their strength in Pearl City. At least thirty percent of the Awakened will be killed.”

“What about now?” Chung Xuejie asked.

Situ Shibai replied, “In order to kill the strongest human in Pearl City, the Sky Fox King has to guard my corpse and prevent my resurrection. The one who will make a move is probably Moon Prince. However, Moon Prince might not be a match for the experts in Pearl City in a one-on-one fight, but if he fights against a group of them, he might be able to defeat them. Therefore, even if he wants to kill all the Awakened who have revealed their strength, it will take at least a year and a half.”

“So, Captain, you used your life to buy half a year for Pearl City. What do we need to do in this half a year?” Liu Sishan clenched her fists and asked as she looked at the bracelet.

Situ Shibai replied with a relaxed tone, “Don’t be so nervous. This is nothing. The Awakened who fought against the Beast Taming Zhu family back then were truly in despair. The Zhu family has countless equipment, and there are five Sun Moon Pearls of the Sun Moon Pearl grade. On the other hand, we have nothing.”

"Right now, the difference between you and the enemy is that you only lack a weapon that can be used against a King."

"A weapon that can be used against a King? Is there such a weapon?" Zhang Shouzhong immediately asked.

Situ Shibai replied, "Of course there is, but only Infinite Level Superpowered can enter that place. Furthermore, every Infinite Level Superpowered can only enter that place once in their lifetime. Back then, I brought out the Heaven and Earth Reversal Arrow from that place, and this time... it will be up to Zhang Ping."

"Zhang Ping? He's an Infinite Level Superpowered?" Zhang Shouzhong said in surprise.

Zhang Ping lay on the table and sighed, "Old Mr. Situ, it seems that you've already made your arrangements. I have to go."

"This matter is also beneficial to you. That place can be considered as the foundation of our human race, right?" Situ Shibai explained.

The foundation of human race?

This can't be said without thinking.

If one had to say what the foundation of human race was, Zhang Ping felt that the biggest foundation of human race was the wisdom and knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

These were the true priceless treasures.

However, considering Situ Shibai's two hundred years of experience, he would not be so careless.

Zhang Ping thought about it carefully and felt a little expectant.

"Let's not waste any more time. Let's set off now." Lu Han glanced at Zhang Ping and made a prompt decision.

Zhang Ping hesitated for a second before saying firmly, "Wait, if it's possible, I want to return to Pearl City. There is something that I have been holding in my heart for a long time. Now that I have successfully advanced to an intermediate Awakened, if I don't resolve this matter, I will feel very uncomfortable."

"Right now, Pearl City is like a dragon's lair and a tiger's den. Do you know how important you are now?" Lu Han frowned and said unhappily.

Zhang Ping said seriously, "I know, but I don't want to wait. I was going to tell you guys that I was going back to Pearl City. No matter if you support me or not, I will go back."

"You want to avenge your friend?" Liu Sishan knew a lot about Zhang Ping. She looked at Zhang Ping and asked.

Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Mmm, don't worry, Sisi. I am really confident that nothing will happen to me!"

"If you really want to go, then defeat me first!" Lu Han interrupted.

As soon as Lu Han finished speaking, Zhang Ping's hand turned into a pure water scythe and appeared on Lu Han's neck. He looked at Lu Han with narrowed eyes and said with a smile, "It seems that I have won."

"…"

Lu Han stared at the smiling Zhang Ping, then glanced at the sharp pure water scythe at the edge of his neck. For a moment, he lost his words.

Although he was unconvinced, Zhang Ping's attack was too fast. From his arm turning into a pure water scythe, it was no more than half a second. If Zhang Ping had the intention to kill, his head would be chopped off by Zhang Ping in an instant.

He was unconvinced, but now he had to admit it.

Situ Shibai laughed at this time, "Haha, Lu Han, an Infinite Level Superpowered Awakened is not an ordinary Awakened. Back then, I only had the strength to kill an advanced Awakened when I advanced to the intermediate level, but Zhang Ping killed a top catabolic beast at the elementary level. He is more outstanding than me and has more potential. So don't underestimate him just because he is young. Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss."

The battle between Awakened was not something that could be decided by just standing together and comparing levels. If they were to purely look at levels, then there was no need to fight.

If the lower level Awakened surrendered, then the higher level Awakened would win. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In fact, advanced Awakened did have a huge advantage, but low-level Awakened could still kill advanced Awakened.

For example, if a low-level Awakened wielded a few tens of millions of divine artifacts, and a high-level Awakened wielded a bare fist, then a low-level Awakened would still have a chance to win.

There were also some special equipment, or people like Situ Shibai who had a large amount of abilities. Through the interaction of different abilities, they could produce an even more powerful ability, and they could also kill enemies beyond their level.

In addition, advanced Awakened ones were heavily injured, and low-level Awakened ones had the opportunity to kill them.

However, these situations were not within the Pearl Ability Academy's teaching range.

The Pearl Ability Academy taught students based on the most common situation as a reference, which was why there was a conclusion that low-level Awakened could not defeat advanced Awakened.

In fact, it was also the case. Ninety-nine percent of the Awakened could not kill enemies beyond their level, and the remaining small group of Awakened did not have the value to learn. If they really treated these special Awakened as teaching material, they would only be misleading the disciples.

Because Zhang Ping had inherited the memories of his previous self, the teaching content of the Pearl Ability Academy was almost treated as the law of the world by him.

As a result, he always felt a sense of fear towards Awakened ones who were of a higher level than him. It was fine if he was familiar with someone, but he would be overly cautious against unfamiliar opponents.

Just like when Chen Junting was kidnapped. If he had acted earlier, he would have been able to intercept her before she left, but he had missed the opportunity because of his cautiousness.

At this moment, Situ Shibai's casual words made Zhang Ping react.

It turned out that he was no longer the weakling that Moon Prince could not do anything but pretend to be asleep.

He had really become stronger!
