Chapter 998: Chapter 329: The Gap (Part 2)

"So you don’t know my strength?"

This question left the Treasure Land Protector thoroughly silent.

As a Treasure Land Protector, she is actually a canary kept by the Dominator. The strength of Secret Child Number 9 is not high, nor is her status, as she’s one of the many Treasure Land Protectors under the Dominator’s command, and such a status restricts her activities — she can only live within the treasure land.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with her, and the information from the outside world is also irrelevant to her. She only knows that the Sequence Number 1 of the Human Race is called Tang Haofei. As for how strong this human Tang Haofei is — this is a dilemma that a Treasure Land Protector doesn’t know at all.

The Treasure Land Protector originally considered that a Level 6 little fellow, even if strong, could at most match a Peak Level 10 life form as a rarity, but who would have thought she’d encounter such a monster...

Seeing the silent attitude of the Treasure Land Protector opposite him, Tang Haofei quickly understood certain things, and his gaze changed.

Damn, I’m here to fight, to seek abuse, but I ran into such a clueless weakling.

Discontented, Tang Haofei angrily said: "Hey, beauty, those little tickling tricks just now can’t possibly be your true strength, right? Do you have anything more explosive? If not, don’t blame me for not showing mercy."

"Boom!"

Replying to Tang Haofei was a pure energy arrow emitting a green glow.

...

The attack came even more fiercely than before, yet Tang Haofei still didn’t dodge, taking the attack from the Guardian head-on.

The energy intensity increased by 50%, and the energy properties also underwent some subtle changes, but this only proved that the Treasure Land Protector used a skill. To Tang Haofei, this attack was no different in essence from the previous one.

Carefully savoring the meticulous control that a Level 11 powerful expert had over energy, Tang Haofei’s expression remained unchanged, unmoved by the overwhelming attacks about to come.

However, the attacking Treasure Land Protector was greatly surprised. A Level 6 professionist could withstand an attack that could critically wound a Peak Level 10 expert...

Having experienced more than a dozen worlds, the Treasure Land Protector had never seen such a freak!

Thinking of this, the Guardian invested even more effort into attacking, until from the distance amidst the shimmering green light, a man’s voice was heard.

"The so-called Level 11 powerful expert... really disappoints me."

"Well, physique points and species innate talent are slightly stronger than the theoretical Peak Level 10, but the superiority is limited and should only be due to the difference brought by Limit Breaking Abilities and the identity of a divine beast species. The strength after promoting to Level 11 still depends on the pre-promotion strength, that’s probably it..."

"But why make a distinction between Level 10 and Level 11?"

The questioning voice constantly emerged from the place the attack landed, while the attacked Tang Haofei seemed to ponder some complex philosophical issues, paying no attention to the incoming green arrows.

Until Old Tang lightly shook his head.

"I have a guess... it seems I’m not giving you enough pressure. In that case, my apologies, young lady!"

Just as the words fell, the Treasure Land Protector suddenly sensed a massive crisis rising ahead!

...

When Tang Haofei just had the thought of making a move, everything around him slowed down.

This wasn’t a special skill, it was merely a difference in perception caused by disparities in neural reaction speeds.

Physique points are simply a measurement unit. Within it are power, speed, reaction speed, recovery ability, vision, hearing, smell, and all other aspects of physical indicators.

The enhancement of physique doesn’t just increase strength, speed, and physical defense but is an all-encompassing enhancement. How strong is Tang Haofei now?

To put it bluntly, facing the strength displayed by the Treasure Land Protector at this moment, Tang Haofei could really wave his hand and obliterate it!

Had he not genuinely wanted to compete against a Level 11 powerful expert, Old Tang would have flattened everything before him with a punch long ago!

And now...

It seems it’s not too late...

The green arrows cast from the distant Treasure Land Protector’s hand appeared to be slow-moving like snails, and at this moment, in Tang Haofei’s eyes, the world’s time seemed delayed by dozens of times. Even the expressions of the Treasure Land Protector ahead were more clearly visible — astonishment, disbelief?

Doesn’t matter anymore...

Old Tang cares, not for how others view him; he just wants battle, but apparently, the woman in front of him doesn’t satisfy him...

Therefore, she should be punished...

With one step, the distance between them was reduced by a fifth. The brilliant green light around gently grazed his body but was always a few centimeters short of hitting its target. He saw her eyes change, becoming more surprised and incredulous...

But there was no fear.

Therefore, as a Treasure Land Protector, as a Level 11 powerful expert, she has more cards to play.

With two steps, the green arrows around grew fiercer, yet for attacks that could be crushed with skin, Tang Haofei really couldn’t be bothered.

Having endured attacks for so long, Tang Haofei’s True God Dominant Body surprisingly hasn’t provided him any physique points at all — the disparity between the two is evident!

With three steps, green light surged on the Treasure Land Protector, looking at the energy properties, it should be some defensive ability, its strength isn’t weak. By skill rating, it must be SSS-Class or Esoteric Level skill, yet in the absolute power gap, what good is this?

The fourth step and the fifth step were faster, and in the blink of an eye, the distance closed to mere inches; watching the beauty’s slowly changing expression, Tang Haofei extended his right hand...

Like a knife slicing butter, the green light surrounding the Treasure Land Protector shattered upon contact. Tang Haofei’s action was so fast that the Treasure Land Protector couldn’t react in time. From the beginning till now, the Treasure Land Protector merely saw a shadow flash past, then felt a surge of Tremendous Strength on her neck!

"Now, let me see what your reliance is!"

When the excited roar echoed beside the Treasure Land Protector’s ear, her neck was already firmly in Tang Haofei’s grasp.

...

The force grew heavier, yet Tang Haofei didn’t use full strength, only applied pressure gradually — meeting the Treasure Land Protector was part of the plan, and in the eyes of Wen Yu and Lin Haifeng, Tang Haofei managing to resolve the Treasure Land Protector was like striking gold, thus they hadn’t tasked Tang Haofei with anything further.

And Tang Haofei understood, given the presence of another reborner, the external battle situation wouldn’t worsen too severely, he’s in no rush; not only does he want to probe the Treasure Land Protector’s strength but also measure his own against a Level 11 powerful expert. Of course, at this stage, Tang Haofei does feel a touch of disappointment, but even if nothing comes of it, no problem — the beauty herself is a great harvest — a Level 11 beauty, an alien beauty...tsk tsk...

As battle intent gradually subsided, a different kind of conquest desire surged; looking at the exotic beauty with a greenish face in his hand, Tang Haofei’s body inevitably stirred.

Mental reaction led to physical response, man’s firepower was high, his gaze wicked, whilst the woman’s eyes grew colder.

"Evil scumbag..."

Complex unknown language was spoken from the Treasure Land Protector’s mouth, but unexpectedly, Tang Haofei understood the meaning behind the words.

It must be some language that communicates directly with the brain, sounds pretty advanced — but that’s not the focus.

The focus is on the woman’s calm, resolute eyes.

"Sht..."

Green light once more flashed by, but this time the outcome was completely different.

A thick arm dropped from mid-air, Tang Haofei stared in disbelief at his severed right arm, seemingly unable to accept that the green energy he disregarded earlier yielded such results!

The woman stood up from two meters in front of Tang Haofei, gently caressing her slender neck, looking at Tang Haofei standing there dazed, her lips curled with a hint of disdain.

"Pathetic insect, you really don’t understand what strength truly is!"
