Chapter 386: Chapter 181 Quantum Ghost

The Nile Crocodile was very frustrated by Gao Xin’s moves.

But he had no choice but to take it seriously, for if he regarded them as feints and let his guard down, they would instantly turn into killing blows!

And that would put him at a significant disadvantage.

Fortunately, Gao Xin’s strength and speed were not quick, which made it unlikely for him to lose.

The Nile Crocodile burst forth in Exoskeleton Armor, and even his entire body grew to over three meters tall, an Activated Exoskeleton indeed.

In a flash, he appeared like a towering, upright giant crocodile, seizing a door-sized weapon and wildly swinging it.

Though Gao Xin overpowered him with battle consciousness and astonishingly dissolved various killing moves, the numbers were still crushing Gao Xin. An occasional setback was no big deal.

On the other side, the outcome between Gao Shu and Swordfish Luther was quickly determined.

Swordfish Luther had her pinned to the ground and was hitting her!

Even clad in the Blood Rose Armor, she was only nearing the level of a quasi-Tiger King. Facing a true veteran quasi-Tiger King, equipped no worse than her, she was soon outmatched.

At the True Tiger level, T0 is the likes of the peak Gao Xin and the Tiger King Wei Lan—they are the true Tiger Kings, capable of standing out among over three hundred thousand True Tigers.

T1 includes quasi-Tiger Kings like the Nile Crocodile Audric, who can make it to the top sixty-four, barely lacking in any aspect compared to Wei Lan, akin to an Elephant Level without a Biological Field.

Then there’s the level of Swordfish Luther, also considered a quasi-Tiger King, but roughly only ranking in the top one or two thousand at the competition, classed within the T2 tier.

T3 is self-proclaimed or hyped-up quasi-Tiger Kings, strong True Tigers who can defeat ordinary True Tigers quickly with certain powerful methods and possess their unique strengths.

Ling Sha from the previous game, and Gao Shu with good equipment, belong to this tier.

They can easily overpower T4 regular True Tigers, and T4 represents the most common kind, with vipers and Steel Axes serving as standard examples.

There’s also Rousi, so weak he might be a T5, and might not even manage to defeat some top sub-tigers or tiger cubs.

Swordfish Luther and others, as well as Huang Banyun, who have sub-tiger bodies but reach True Tiger combat power with equipment or other advantages, are in this tier as well.

So Gao Shu can effortlessly beat opponents like the Four Fish, but against Swordfish Luther, she’s the one getting thrashed.

"Ah, ah, ah! Hit me, keep hitting me!"

"If you dare, hit me until I break through!"

Gao Shu is an SSR; True Tiger isn’t her potential limit, so it’s hard for her to refine herself into a T2 or T1 real quasi-Tiger King.

If she’s pushed into a life-and-death situation, she might, like Ling Sha, directly leap to Elephant Level.

However, Swordfish Luther scoffed in disdain, "Thinking of breaking through?"

"I hate you high-potential people the most, always so presumptuous, thinking stepping into Elephant Level is some kind of entitlement."

"People die when they are killed!"

"Survival is not to be taken for granted!"

With that, he stomped down hard on Gao Shu.

"Boom!"

The flagstone shattered, blasting a deep pit, and Gao Shu, who had already fallen backwards, had her head completely sunk in.

She turned the color of jade all over her body, and with her Exoskeleton Armor previously activated, she now resembled some kind of jade-carved monster, like an intricately crafted work of art.

She struggled to raise her head, her body crumbling from Swordfish Luther’s assault, her mouth still defiant.

"Come on! Try... to kill me!"

Swordfish Luther’s expression changed, "A unique gene module?"

He was certain that such a module wasn’t available at the Silver Tower.

Her entire body instantly transformed into some kind of nano-material, incredibly hard, his all-out strike merely scraping off some shards.

"Heh, you think I can’t kill you?"

Swordfish Luther didn’t believe in bad omens; his weapon, like a fang, kept pounding on Gao Shu like a rainstorm.

The ringing and clanging sounds were endless; to the unknowing, it sounded like they were mining.

Gao Shu’s face was pummeled beyond recognition; if this continued, her skull would inevitably be shattered.

"Back off!"

Gao Xin suddenly burst out with greater power, his strikes became swifter, and in an instant, he flung the Nile Crocodile away.

He then attacked Swordfish Luther instantly.

"This guy... has reached sub-tiger level!" exclaimed the Nile Crocodile, aghast. The gash on his chest was deep, his Exoskeleton Armor in tatters, his flesh peeling back, and his ribs cleaved through.

Swordfish Luther hastened to meet the assault, "How could this be? How did he break through so easily?"

They didn’t know that Gao Xin’s head was that of a True Tiger, so his body was continuously adapting to the strength of his brain.

The brain is the source of breakthrough; the human body’s evolution and breakthrough all begin with the brain.

What near-death experiences, what the will to live, are all sensations of the brain—it wouldn’t stimulate the cells to send out corresponding information, and without it, the body wouldn’t transform on its own.

"Don’t hold back, quick battle quick decision, kill him!"

The Nile Crocodile became serious, and his Exoskeleton Armor instantly animated as well, even reaching four meters in height, turning into a lifelike colossal crocodile monster.

"Stop fighting, both of you," Oiran Chizuru pleaded anxiously.

But the Nile Crocodile didn’t listen to her, "Miss Chizuru, please step back, I have to go all out against this guy."

As he spoke, he charged forward with a five-stage overclock.

For a moment, Gao Xin fought against two quasi-Tiger Kings with his sub-tiger body.

Moreover, the two of them were fully serious, unleashing all their combat power.

Gao Xin was in grave danger, fighting bloodily, hobbling, a sole horn on his gruesome head, his gaze extraordinarily focused.

Organ overclock, one stage, two stages, three stages... every ten seconds, he activated an additional stage.

He even reached a five-stage overclock on the way.

"What!"

"How could this guy progress so swiftly?"

Both quasi-Tiger Kings were dumbfounded as they watched the male Oiran evolve from Wolf Level to Tiger Cub, then to Sub-Tiger, and now even a five-stage overclock.

What sort of breakthrough speed was this? It was outrageous!

"He can’t possibly break through to True Tiger, can he?" Swordfish Luther exclaimed.

The Nile Crocodile’s eyes were blood-red, "Kill! Kill him! Hurry up and kill him!"

"He is almost running on fumes!"

In the midst of the fierce battle, Gao Xin visibly slimmed down.

In fact, ever since he stepped from True Wolf to Cub Tiger, he had already begun to lose weight, thinning down even more when he reached Sub-Tiger.

That was still thanks to Luo Yan’s good foundation, starting with a weight of three hundred kilograms, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to unleash the fifth stage of overclocking.

Seeing their deadly struggle, Chizuru gritted her teeth and ran toward a building in the back courtyard.

The Nile Crocodile and the others were there to protect her and would not listen to her.

If they did not stop, even if Chizuru let Gao Xin stand down, it would be meaningless, so she rushed into the house and opened a hidden dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, Luo Yan was unharmed, assuring a ghastly woman to eat more slowly.

The woman was emaciated and shriveled, with disheveled hair and a filthy body. Apart from her limbs, dried blood covered her and she gave off a foul stench.

Her eyes were blood-red as she ravenously gnawed on a huge irradiated cow, her belly so swollen it seemed like the reincarnation of a gluttonous ghost in a frenzy.

"Eat slower, Rousi, if you keep eating like this, your stomach is going to burst," Luo Yan held Rousi back, stopping her from eating further.

Rousi calmed down after his embrace and nestled in his arms, panting as she digested.

"So... so delicious..."

Luo Yan gave a wry smile, "I know, you already pushed yourself to the limit fighting with Suzuki, and then your limbs were severed, you’ve been hungry for five days."

"But your digestive speed can’t keep up with your eating, binge eating after being starved for so long is not a good thing."

He comforted Rousi, who curled up in his arms like a little girl.

For someone like Rousi who was accustomed to eating greatly, being starved for five days was more torturous than having her limbs cut off and being locked in the dungeon.

The feeling of hunger is the most insane and fundamental physiological desire of the human body, and hers was particularly intense. She had already fought to the extreme with Gao Xin five days ago, and then was pushed to her limit by the members of the Yakuza, becoming skin and bones.

After five days of starvation, that hunger was unimaginable, as if it were melting her very sanity.

When she was first released, she resembled a zombie, and nearly gnawed at Chizuru.

Chizuru had sent all the servants away from the house and moved a large amount of food from the cold storage.

Later, when the Nile Crocodile and others arrived and saw the emptiness of the Yamaguchi Family, they decided to stay and protect Chizuru.

Chizuru couldn’t dismiss them since it was a common occurrence, and the Nile Crocodile was one of Fujihara Tomohiro’s trusted subordinates.

So she stayed outside to accompany them, leaving Luo Yan in the dungeon, which also allowed Luo Yan to stay there, eating and recuperating with Rousi.

Meanwhile, a great battle erupted at the conference venue, and soon after, Gao Xin came covered in blood, engaging the Nile Crocodile in fierce combat.

Unable to stop their great battle, Chizuru took the opportunity to find Luo Yan.

"What to do? Xin is here, and he’s in a fierce fight with the Nile Crocodile and the others."

"The little girl he brought with him was severely injured, and he himself is crippled in one leg, now pushing himself to the limit."

Chizuru rapidly described the situation outside, unaware of how powerful Gao Xin’s crippled leg was, only seeing that Gao Xin looked like he was burning the candle at both ends, seemingly on the brink of death.

Luo Yan suddenly stood up, "What, Brother Xin is about to die?"

Knowing the Nile Crocodile and his crew were on the verge of being Tiger Kings, he became anxious and grabbed a knife, ready to rush out and help.

However, Rousi held him back, giving a slight tug that pulled Luo Yan back and nearly made him stumble.

"Forget it, you’re no match for me in your current state, are you trying to go out there to die?" Rousi spoke hoarsely.

With such a lean and desiccated body, she easily subdued Luo Yan.

To think, Luo Yan was currently in Gao Xin’s prime body.

Yet, he couldn’t control it.

His True Wolf mind was in a True Tiger body, which hardly matched up.

If it were an ordinary person, a weaker mind seizing a stronger body would lead to death, the greater the disparity, the higher the death rate.

The brain would be overwhelmed by neurotransmitters fed back from the body’s various organs and even bacteria, being shocked into idiocy.

What is it like for the entire body to reject the brain? The immune cells might even turn and consume the brain.

Fortunately, it was Gao Xin, a universally adaptable body, plus he personally performed the transition, which allowed Luo Yan to stay alive and move freely like a normal person.

Yet, even so, he couldn’t harness the full strength of this body, not even controlling his own body effectively.

Gao Xin once said when he enhanced his brain, the mind is the foundation for all abilities to function.

If a computer’s processor is poor, other high-grade components are of little use.

"I’ll go."

"Have you two swap bodies back, I feel uncomfortable being held by this body of yours."

Rousi hoarsely said, snatching the knife from Luo Yan’s hand and picking up a large femur from the irradiated cow, and stepped out of the dungeon.

The sunlight outside was blinding, giving her a sense of rebirth.

Carrying the femur, Rousi quickly adjusted to the outdoor brightness, caught a glimpse of the fighting Gao Xin, and then burst out like lightning.

"Bang!"

A muffled blow landed on the back of Kamen Crocodile’s head, shattering the beef leg bone on the spot.

But Kamen Crocodile was also hammered into the ground, cracking the exoskeleton at the back of his head.

"Who!"

This strike was immensely powerful, especially the speed.

The gaunt Rousi was astonishingly fast.

Kamen Crocodile immediately turned to counterattack, but Rousi effortlessly kept up. Her reaction speed was that of a True Tiger level!

"Huh!"

All of a sudden, Kamen Crocodile’s hoe struck Rousi’s head.

But it was as if it hit nothing, going straight through Rousi’s flesh and bones.

"What! "Quantum Ghost"!"
