Chapter 1137: That Man… He

"Stinky kid, you want to try running another one?!"

Gao Zhiyi's Spikes' Rebirth completed, and he immediately launched a pursuit of Zhuang Wu.

"Come chase me, idiot!"

Zhuang Wu, unhurried, dodged, using Extreme Speed to pull Gao Zhiyi in a marathon.

The two ran around the Sunset District circle after circle.

As if they would never tire.

However, Gao Zhiyi, lacking the endless stamina of Revival, …

Zhuang Wu was ultimately just a Normal Difficulty person.

After running so long, the energy inside his body was consumed about seventy‑plus percent.

He was just short of sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat.

"You're really persistent and stubborn, trying to literally wear me out to death?" Zhuang Wu couldn't help but mutter.

On the other side, Zhang Tiancheng finally dug Yue Lan out of the ruins.

His gray head and dusty face had long lost their original vigor.

All that remained was a death‑like silence.

Qin Weiyang staggered, dragging the gravely wounded, near‑dead Wang Yuning to Luo Qing's side.

Lin Yang still clashed with Zhou Tai'an.

Neither would concede to the other.

At this rate, who will collapse first is still uncertain.

Thus, Zhuang Wu became even more determined to stall for time.

As long as he can hold the enraged Gao Zhiyi, the rest can be left to Su Yang.

Thinking this, Zhuang Wu forced himself to draw a breath and kept sprinting.

"What are you trying to prove by working so hard?"

"Even if you perform excellently, Su Yang will not grant you the crest."

"Moreover, you saw the fate of the one called Ximen; as Dependents, you can be discarded at will."

"Putting in such effort, don't you consider yourself?" Gao Zhiyi asked.

Hearing her fire off more Mouth‑talk, Zhuang Wu instantly became interested.

"First, my effort truly aims to prove I'm no worse than anyone, especially in speed I surpass you."

"Second, I've never coveted Su Yang's life the way you covet the crest; I don't think I currently have the capacity to take on this hot‑potato."

"Furthermore, your talk of abandonment is pure fantasy; Ximen sacrificed voluntarily—did you see Su Yang press a blade to his throat and force him?"

"Finally, I am indeed considering myself."

"Everything I do now is to earn Faith Value rewards later, and also to open a new life for Mei Mei in the Fourth Stage."

"You, on the other hand, are truly pitiful, already a Dead Body."

"Even if you could kill Su Yang, you would gain no reward or honor."

"Just go down to the sea and be a fish; if the chance arises I'll take a fishing rod to the shore and try, remember to take the bait."

Hearing these insulting words, Gao Zhiyi's Lung was almost exploding.

Her original intention was to make Zhuang Wu see Su Yang's true nature.

But she never expected the other not only to reject it, but also to retort sarcastically.

"Seems you really think your death isn't fast enough!" Gao Zhiyi gritted her teeth.

"Tsk, after going out I want to eat spicy hot pot, and also have a delightful midnight barbecue."

"Admire the moon, gaze at the sea view, sip wheat juice."

"Chatting bragging with friends and companions, how pleasant it is."

"Oh sorry, I shouldn't have told you so much; you can't enjoy it at all, so what's the point of my words?" Zhuang Wu shook his head and said.

"Die!"

Gao Zhiyi seemed to have been hit at a sore spot; her eyes turned blood‑red, releasing all Spikes.

"This move doesn't work on me; how many times must I say it?"

Zhuang Wu sneered, flashing away again.

Just as he evaded the attack, a string of unfamiliar information suddenly flashed in his Brain.

"This is…"

Zhuang Wu focused on the content, and his face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

Not only him, Qin Weiyang and others also received similar messages.

The few exchanged glances, all showing moved and joyful expressions.

"We can start Summon God now!" they chorused.

"Wait, don't rush; Su Yang said it wasn't necessary for the big guy to apply all at once." Wen Ran said with difficulty.

"How about I do it?" Qin Weiyang suggested.

"Good!"

Qin Weiyang closed her eyes, silently following the Summon God steps.

After a while, she silently whispered "Confirm" in her mind.

The next moment, the Heavenly Spirit Cover suddenly shot a stream of light straight toward the heavens.

Gao Zhiyi and Zhou Tai'an saw this, and thought silently that it was ominous.

"It actually… unlocked a rare Hidden Achievement?!"

The worst outcome appears, and the two furrow their brows.

It turns out Su Yang's haste to leave was not out of fear of death, but with solemn intent!

Just as the two were contemplating how things would unfold next.

A massive Gate suddenly appears above the heavens.

It is towering and ancient, solemn and austere.

As the Gate quietly opens, the crowd catches a silhouette hidden among the clouds in the haze.

"He's coming?!"

…

Five minutes earlier.

Inside Villa No. 324 on the island.

Su Yang endures a minute of waiting, when a sudden rapid wing vibration sounds from outside the door.

He hurriedly opens the door and sees a white seagull's claw holding a delivery box.

"Bring it!"

Su Yang snatches the box and casually tosses the seagull out the door.

Ignoring the seagull's cries, he rips open the packaging at lightning speed and takes out the Metal Box inside.

The packaging is still exquisite, but now he has no time to admire it.

He simply unlocks the box and extracts the Injection inside.

Seeing the deep blue liquid inside, Su Yang does not hesitate at all and injects it straight into his thigh!

"Sss—"

As the Injection is pushed in, Su Yang feels the change within his body and cannot help but let out a satisfied cry.

Lu Junsheng runs up to check, and seeing his tiger‑like eagerness, asks, "Is the situation urgent?"

Su Yang closes his eyes to enjoy it and nods silently.

Seeing this, Lu Junsheng says no more than a brief reminder, "Safety first!"

Soon, Su Yang opens his eyes, and a flash of brilliance passes through.

As his Innate Talent rises by Level One, he feels his sigil also undergoes a slight change.

A sudden insight surfaces in his mind.

The feeling is profoundly mysterious.

It cannot be described in words.

Yet it opens a window for him.

A window leading to true Fusion!

"So this is the true purpose of the sigil!" Su Yang realizes.

No wonder he previously felt something was terribly off.

After using it, one becomes Weakness.

It turns out it was due to a lack of integration!

He lowers his gaze at the Injection in his hand, a smile curling his mouth, "Thanks, friend, you've done me a great favor!"

After speaking, a Gate suddenly appears before him.

Compared with a Portal, this Gate is even more imposing.

"Summon God?" Lu Junsheng understands in his heart.

Su Yang does not hesitate at all, pushes the Gate open and walks straight in.

The longer he stays outside, the more dangerous the people in the game become.

When his silhouette disappears within, after a whirlwind of spinning, he finds himself high in the air.

Overlooking the familiar Sunset District, Su Yang feels gazes from many directions.

Among them are mixed meanings, and the malice of Gao Zhiyi and Zhou Tai'an is the strongest.

Su Yang lets out a light laugh and shouts, "Friends, I'm back!"

Hearing that shout, Yin Yun flinches, and the camera immediately points toward the high sky.

Everyone in front of the TV sees the familiar figure and their pupils quake enormously.

"He's back?!"

"Who?"

"That man!"
