Chapter 172

Everyone was cursing.

It was simply that Chen Ang's performance was too astonishing.

It made them all unable to help but be shocked.

Fourth-order, after all.

Fighting all the way to the sixth-order.

And to be honest, if it had taken a long time to clear a floor, it would actually be fine.

Although everyone was shocked, it wouldn't have reached this point.

But what was truly terrifying was that Chen Ang's speed in clearing the levels was too fast.

Even after reaching the sixtieth floor, it still took less than a few minutes to continue to the next floor.

And the strength of the enemies on each of these floors would increase significantly.

This was the point that shocked everyone; no one knew how many floors Chen Ang could eventually reach.

They could only watch the floor numbers jumping on the screen and express the shock in their hearts.

Sixty-third floor.

Boom—

Chen Ang threw a punch.

The illusory enemy figure before him was not afraid in the slightest and attacked with a punch; Chen Ang immediately felt a majestic force.

"An evolution talent of giant strength?"

Chen Ang was surprised, but immediately erupted again.

"Dragon Fist!"

Boom!

The power of death swept past.

The figure vanished.

Space vibrated.

Chen Ang automatically entered the next floor.

The enemy on the sixty-fourth floor was even stronger.

To be honest, at this point, Chen Ang already had to bring out some of his true strength.

As soon as the enemy appeared, it attacked even faster than Chen Ang; with one step, its terrifying speed almost turned into afterimages, making Chen Ang increasingly surprised.

"This is... pure physical speed."

"But just being fast is useless."

After speaking, Chen Ang grinned, took a step, and slammed his foot into the ground.

Hum.

It was as if an endless black mist erupted, instantly covering the entire area of this floor.

While continuously stripping away the enemy's life force, Chen Ang could also clearly sense the opponent's location every second.

The next moment.

Chen Ang suddenly turned around and threw a punch behind him.

The enemy's figure appeared there, was hit in the forehead by Chen Ang's punch, and was defeated on the spot.

The enemy figure disappeared.

Chen Ang murmured in his heart, "A bit strange; this kind of speed should be an evolution of a speed talent, but it seems a bit wrong—it's not teleportation, nor is it flashing."

"It seems more like another type of evolution, but to my knowledge, there shouldn't be an ability of this evolution type."

"Strange..."

He shook his head.

Chen Ang had doubts in his heart.

But he continued to the next floor.

Sixty-fifth floor.

The enemy's strength was getting stronger and stronger.

But still not Chen Ang's match.

The strength of the enemy on the sixty-fifth floor could be considered a relatively powerful existence among the sixth-order.

But it was not comparable to an extreme Talent-user.

And under such circumstances, it was impossible to pose a threat to Chen Ang.

Sixty-six.

Sixty-seven.

Sixty-eight.

Outside the New Star Tower.

People were already numb.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, filled with shock and disbelief.

Sixty-eighth floor.

Even if Chen Ang were fifth-order, they wouldn't be this shocked.

But as it happened, Chen Ang was fourth-order.

"This person is too terrifying."

"I have a premonition that based on Chen Ang's performance today, our academy will have one more person who cannot be provoked."

"Need you to tell me?"

"He's only fourth-order, but his strength is so terrifying he can kill sixth-order; isn't it courting death for us to provoke him?"

"The most terrifying thing is that he's still a freshman. If given another year, wouldn't his combat power be comparable to seventh or even eighth-order?"

"Eighth-order is impossible, but seventh-order is possible."

"Hiss, that's already terrifying enough, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha." Zhao Xuan couldn't help but laugh, crossing his arms and looking at Wei Cheng with a playful smile. "I heard someone came to seek revenge on Chen Ang, but in the end, be careful not to get yourself planted in it, hahaha."

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about whether he should consider contacting the boss and having the boss come to take charge.

After all, Wei Cheng was so confident, clearly having a trump card and not fearing the Pioneering Society.

But now it seemed there was clearly no need.

After all, if it were before, in his eyes, if a battle broke out between Chen Ang and Wei Cheng, Chen Ang would likely die. But based on the strength Chen Ang was showing now, hehe, if they really went to the life-and-death arena, it's hard to say who would live and who would die, but it's highly probable that Chen Ang would live.

Listening to the playfulness in Zhao Xuan's voice, Wei Cheng's face turned gloomy; he didn't speak, but his gaze remained fixed on the screen of the New Star Tower.

Then, as if thinking of something, he grinned and revealed a cold smile.

Seeing this.

Zhao Xuan frowned slightly.

173: The evolution direction of the Thunder Body.

Of this, Chen Ang was naturally unaware.

On the sixty-eighth floor.

Chen Ang had already started fighting seriously.

Because the strength of the enemy on this floor was already comparable to an extreme-evolution sixth-order Talent-user.

Even more terrifyingly, it possessed three talents.

Two of which Chen Ang didn't recognize.

"Roar!"

The enemy in front roared, a terrifying demonic energy gathered, and it was covered in a layer of demon scales and demon horns, its whole body entwined with demonic energy, erupting with a terrifying aura.

"A demon transformation talent?"

Chen Ang frowned.

With a serious expression, after taking a deep breath, a terrifying aura also erupted from his body.

Immediately following, dragon scales covered his body, dragon wings extended, and sharp dragon claws flashed with cold light.

Whoosh.

A sound of air being torn apart rang out.

Chen Ang's figure vanished.

An afterimage leaped forward, charging straight ahead.

Immediately following, Chen Ang's actual figure also disappeared.

The enemy threw a punch, striking the afterimage's forehead directly; with the power of that blow, the afterimage shattered.

But the next moment, Chen Ang's figure appeared behind the enemy, unleashing a Dragon Fist.

The enemy's reaction speed was extremely fast. Even though there was no time to turn around, they quickly compressed the surrounding air and wind behind them, forming a rotating shield to block the attack.

At the same time, flames laced with thunder emerged from thin air beneath their feet, burning toward Chen Ang.

Chen Ang did not pause in the slightest.

The punch landed.

*Crack~*

The shield formed by the gale and compressed air cracked upon impact, then shattered completely.

A terrifying ripple of energy erupted.

It was accompanied by a deathly force that swept through like a gale.

As Chen Ang's fist shattered the shield, it did not stop, continuing on to strike the enemy's body.

A violent shockwave carrying the power of death burst forth completely.

The enemy's figure was sent flying, slamming heavily into the wall with a loud boom, unable to move for a time.

Chen Ang still did not stop; a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward, attacking once more.

The flames and thunder burning on his body created a terrifying level of power.

It actually made Chen Ang feel a tearing, excruciating pain, and scars even began to appear on his dragon scales.

This was an attack formed by the fusion of elements; he didn't know what kind of talent it was.

But...

It was all about to end.

Enduring the intense pain, Chen Ang appeared before the enemy and brought his fist down in a straight line.

*BOOM—*

The entire Wan Wan Xingta seemed to tremble.

The enemy's figure vanished, having died at Chen Ang's hands.

This floor, cleared.

The flames and thunder burning on his body also vanished.

Chen Ang, however, furrowed his brows slightly and muttered to himself, "It's still a bit strange. Aside from that demon-attribute talent and the shield-forming talent from earlier, does a talent that weaves flames and thunder together really exist?"

Although Chen Ang did not know every awakened and evolved talent, he was generally aware of many.

He was certain he had never seen or heard of that kind of talent before.

It wasn't that Chen Ang hadn't considered that someone might have developed a new evolutionary path and deliberately hidden it without telling others.

Chen Ang was naturally aware of such situations.

He even knew that there were likely many similar cases; after all, many talent-user families relied on mastering such intelligence to pass down their legacy.

But Chen Ang always felt something was off.

Vaguely, he seemed to have thought of something, but he was always just one step away.

He felt that as long as he took that step, he would be able to figure out the reason.

The next floor was about to begin.

"Talent..."

"Wan Wan Xingta..."

"Enemies that transcend the limits of evolved talent users..."

Chen Ang stroked his chin, murmuring and pondering.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"So that's it. Is it for this? I understand now."

His heart felt shaken.

He finally understood where the feeling that something was off came from.

It was Wan Wan Xingta itself.

Previously, Chen Ang thought the purpose of Wan Wan Xingta was to better motivate students to keep getting stronger.

But after clearing floor by floor, especially seeing the strength of the enemies every ten floors, Chen Ang felt it probably wasn't just that.

After all, excluding himself, the enemies every ten floors could be called invincible among their peers when placed in different levels.

This "invincibility among peers" was an invincibility that could even suppress monsters and prodigies.

That was absurd.

If it were to motivate students to get stronger, they should at least create somewhat reasonable enemies, right?

From a normal perspective, these kinds of enemies exceeded rationality.

That was why he kept pondering.

And because of this, he understood even more clearly what the other purpose of Wan Wan Xingta was.

"Collecting data, huh..."

His gaze flickered.

The evolutionary path of talent users is brilliant.

It is unknown.

And it is mysterious.

But precisely because of this, evolution is extremely difficult.

There are too many routes.

There are too many directions.

There are even many that have never been discovered by people.

How many are there? No one knows.

There must be many evolutionary directions and routes that could make the overall strength of the talent-user world even more powerful in the future.

Chen Ang knew this, and some powerhouses in the talent-user world couldn't possibly not know it.

But trying to figure them out was also extremely difficult.

Relying solely on all talent users?

You can't put all your eggs in one basket, right?

Wan Wan Xingta might also be one such direction.

By using various means to simulate new evolutionary directions for talents and placing them in Wan Wan Xingta as enemies for students to fight, they could simultaneously help students get stronger and hone themselves, while also collecting combat data against the students to determine feasibility, then conduct detailed exploration, collect materials, and attempt evolution.

In fact, the talents displayed by some of the enemies he encountered earlier had made Chen Ang feel a sense of familiarity.

Yet they were also slightly off.

Now that he understood, Chen Ang also roughly realized that those were all guesses and speculations by official personnel regarding the abilities of certain talents after evolution.

"But I have to say, the directions they speculated were actually correct."

Chen Ang murmured.

A faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

If nothing else.

At least that ability where flames and thunder were intertwined.

Made Chen Ang's heart shake.

【Talent: Thunder Body.】

【Evolutionary Direction: Four.】

【One: Violent Thunder Tyrant Body.】

【Two: Thunder Spirit Body.】

【Three: Thunder Demon Possession.】
