Chapter 52: Chapter 18: Terrifying Potential_2

"Even though I let myself fall into madness, let myself cast off emotions... progress has always been slow. I never understood why."

"But now I understand that it’s because all along, I’ve never truly dared to let myself be trapped in that kind of almost complete desperate situation..."

"Because I really... really can’t die..."

Silver Hand’s tone was filled with struggle and self-mockery, "Radiation’s path to heaven is not about being fearless in face of death, but rather, it’s about fearing death."

"Life becomes stronger because of the fear of death. The more you fear it, the greater the growth death brings."

"But if you fear death, how can you dare to challenge an opponent many times stronger than yourself?"

"It’s easy to be ruthless to others, but too hard to be ruthless to oneself..."

"Heh... if it weren’t for today, if an ordinary person like you hadn’t pushed me to this extent, I’m afraid I would have taken much longer to become a true wolf."

Silver Hand walked down the stairs slowly, his terrible wounds began to sprout flesh and closed all the wounds.

Even though he was already as thin as a rail, he was healing himself again.

Could it possibly be a new function adapting in his body? Another breakthrough on the brink of battle?

Is this freaking SR? How is anyone supposed to live through this?

All those present felt an unprecedented despair.

Gao Xin was mentally exhausted. It was too difficult.

After racking his brains and desperately making plans, if his opponent had been an ordinary Radiation, he would have won.

But unfortunately, this guy was not just ordinarily strong, his potential was also outrageously high.

From initial combat power near Sasaki, to dragging his heavily wounded body into fierce battle with the bearded man and breaking through to the sub-wolf level.

Now, he had broken through again in a desperate situation to become a true wolf?

As far as he knew, true wolf was Tanabu’s level.

Tanabu’s ferocity, deeply impressed in the newcomers’ minds, involved fighting with a shattered heart and then calmly returning to report, standing firm for a full half hour—it was outrageous.

And Silver Hand... had he really become such a monster?

Was there even a point in fighting anymore?

"Is that so? If it weren’t for my plan, you wouldn’t have become a true wolf by now," Gao Xin said.

"This game, you’ve already gained enough, why not call it a day? Afterwards, all the ’rats’ will give you their redemption coupons."

Gao Xin attempted to negotiate. He was helpless; the opponent was just too powerful.

Silver Hand’s ferocious face twisted into what might have been a smile: "Oh?"

"You want to make peace with me?" Gao Xin said gravely.

Silver Hand responded indifferently, "Interesting, to meet you is also my opportunity."

"Thanks to you, I was able to step into the true wolf level. Now, we might as well know each other through combat."

"Fine, let’s end this here."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt as if they had received an amnesty.

Great, this guy had been through a life and death crisis and seemed to have a moment of enlightenment, becoming somewhat easier to talk to.

Was it the case of no fight, no acquaintance? Everyone looked at Gao Xin in surprise, not expecting that an ordinary person could push such a powerful Radiation to recognize him.

Today’s battle was indeed an opportunity for Silver Hand.

Given Silver Hand’s potential, if he dared to challenge much stronger characters and survived, he would definitely make tremendous progress.

But he didn’t dare... It’s easy to say, but too hard to do, the death rate being too high.

If you die, high potential is useless, so he could only be ruthless to those of the same level or weaker.

It seemed he crazily dominated in fights, but actually, once everyone understood this kind of potential in SR, it didn’t seem too crazy.

Because his potential was high!

Against an opponent of the same level, even if he couldn’t win, he could at least hold on for a very long time. This way his body could slowly adapt. Even if he reached the point where he might be killed, he had the time and opportunity to unleash SR’s potential and bridge the small gap.

Thus, his chances of winning were actually quite high.

It’s just that this made his progress much slower, so until today, he hadn’t even reached Sasaki’s level.

If not for Gao Xin today, he wouldn’t have dared to challenge three at once, nor would he have faced a real brush with death and broken through a second time.

Being pushed to such a state by an ordinary person, how ’lucky’!

"Good, very good. Don’t worry, we really will give you the redemption coupons," people hurriedly promised, their minds easing.

But Silver Hand suddenly changed the subject, "However, I haven’t won everything."

"Huh?" Gao Xin stared at him.

Silver Hand said indifferently, "This axe is quite precious, it’s my spoil of war, you’ll give it back to me, right?"

Gao Xin responded, "I have no problem with that. It’s on the pillar, go get it yourself."

"Not so..." Silver Hand laughed: "Do you really think I’m blind? Isn’t it in your hands?"

Everyone looked toward him; so this guy wasn’t blind, or perhaps he had healed?

He was relentlessly strong. Impressive.

A newcomer rat quickly said, "Come on, Xin, just give it to him."

Gao Xin looked at that person.

Meimei also looked over, "Give him the axe, but what if he turns hostile again? It’s not like he hasn’t done that before!"

But others said, "He has already agreed to let us go, didn’t you see that he has recognized Xin now?"

"Yes, he has had an epiphany, knows that being ruthless to others is pointless."

"Right, as long as we give him the rewards later, his gain is the same, there’s no need to kill us."

Meimei growled, "If he really had good intentions, he would not demand the axe, why does he insist on having it?"

Silver Hand said calmly, "This axe would cost at least 1000 redemption coupons to buy, why do you think I insist on having it?"

Meimei said, "Don’t trust him, he promises peace with his words but demands a weapon. If we hand it over, we’ll have no leverage."
