123: The battle of ten thousand strong!

Kryptonian Gene · Tier 2.

Sole Effect: When you are under the light of the sun, you will gain continuous physical strength enhancement, but it should be noted that although the sun is warm, it can only be viewed from afar. Contractors can advance their tier by opening the Gene Lock.

Tier 2 Characteristics: Immune to 45% fire-type damage, absorption speed of solar energy increases by 5%, and physical strength is greatly enhanced.

Hint: There is a Gene Lock within the Kryptonian Gene. Each time a Gene Lock is opened, new characteristics will be gained… When the scene is transformed into daytime, Li An can continuously enhance his physical strength through the solar energy freely available in the sunlight. Although it cannot directly allow him to advance his physical body again, it constantly strengthens his physique, making his physical power grow and improve every minute and second.

It was a pity, however, that because Death within the Tower of Babel was not true Death, Li An could not activate the Devouring Spirit's devouring characteristic after killing his opponent.

But even so, in his continuous battles, he still felt that one of his abilities had improved.

That was the Melee All-rounder ability.

Although the ability level had disappeared for now, based on his perception from combat experience, Li An could still sense that his strength in battle had become stronger.

It should be known.

The Melee All-rounder ability itself significantly boosted Li An's melee damage, and continuous attacks would also trigger stacking damage, which was an extremely terrifying thing, meaning Li An could continuously unleash attack damage far exceeding his own in sustained combat.

Deep in the dense jungle.

At this moment, Li An's new round of challenges had once again come to an end. This time, his opponent had actually engaged him in dozens of head-on clashes, and only succumbed to his sustained explosive power in the end, subsequently being killed.

[Ding! You have defeated 10157 opponents. Your current ranking has risen to 10102.]

Now that his ranking had risen to this level, the opponents he faced were becoming increasingly powerful, but Li An felt no fear in his heart; instead, he was filled with excitement.

At the same time, his use of core abilities also became increasingly proficient. After mastering new abilities, Li An's strength was now several times greater than when he was in the Resident Evil world.

The next second, Li An first glanced at the opponent he had killed, then retracted his gaze and directly chose to continue the challenge.

[Ding! Challenge continues, matching begins!]

[Ding! Matching successful!]

The matching speed was still impressive. The second Li An chose to continue the challenge, the scene before his eyes changed again, and with this change in scene, he immediately felt a scorching aura rush towards him.

It was a volcano!

This time, the battle scene was surprisingly next to a volcanic crater!

"You must be my opponent."

Just then, before Li An could recover from the shock of the scene, he was suddenly pulled back to reality by an unfamiliar voice.

"Let's begin."

Li An, having recovered, finally looked in the direction of the voice. After seeing his opponent this time, he nodded and then spoke.

However, seeing Li An's calm demeanor, the person immediately became enraged. He directly pounced towards Li An, and in his movements, Li An even saw the opponent's five fingers rapidly sharpening.

Swish!

A piercing whoosh suddenly sounded. Li An slightly turned his body and directly dodged the opponent's incoming claw. However, facing Li An's evasion, the person seemed to have anticipated it. His offensive did not decrease; he directly changed his attack angle and aimed for Li An's chest.

At this moment, even Li An did not expect this person's reaction to be so fast. By the time he reacted, the opponent's attack was already upon him. But Li An's speed was also not slow; he acted later but arrived first, meeting the incoming claw with a punch.

Bang!

A terrifying collision sound immediately rang out. This person also seemed not to have expected Li An's reaction to be so swift. Caught off guard, he was immediately sent flying backward by a punch.

Thump-thump-thump ~

Immediately after, as this person landed, he couldn't stop his body from retreating several steps until he finally dissipated the punch force delivered by Li An.

However, at this moment, a deep look of shock appeared in this person's eyes as he looked at Li An. He had already felt the terrifying power of Li An and realized that Li An was a formidable enemy!

"When did the Paradise have a Rookie like you?"

"Who are you?"

After sensing Li An's strength, this person did not choose to counterattack immediately; instead, he looked at Li An with a solemn expression.

The information on the latest batch of Rookie Kings in the Paradise had already been released. Except for Lucas, who could communicate with animals and had suddenly died in a mission world, he had seen almost all the other Rookie Kings, but he had never seen a person like Li An.

However, Contractors who could fight here must be rookies whose level did not exceed lv.20, meaning Contractors who had just shed their rookie status.

But it was truly strange; he had never seen Li An. Contractors who normally reached this challenge ranking should be well-known figures, at least Contractors whose level had already reached lv.20, or geniuses from various worlds, or even Rookie King existences.

Yet, he now saw an unknown person reaching this level of ranking, which immediately shocked him greatly.

"What? Do we need to check family trees before fighting now?"

Hearing this, Li An immediately smiled slightly. He didn't know what the other party was thinking and directly retorted with a question.

At the same time.

To avoid wasting time, the moment his words fell, Li An immediately moved.

He transformed into an afterimage and disappeared from his original spot. Even his opponent instantly lost sight of Li An at this moment. He immediately instinctively adopted a defensive stance, his gaze quickly scanning around.

Boom!

At this moment, an explosion suddenly rang out in the air. Li An's figure surprisingly appeared directly above his opponent's head. He raised his massive fist and brought it straight down, aiming directly for the opponent's head.

"Don't underestimate me!!!"

The opponent, perhaps sensing the ferocious aura emanating from Li An, immediately roared and straightened his body. Then he clenched his fist and met Li An's attack.

Bang!

Fist met fist, immediately creating a terrifying explosion. However, the next second, a figure was sent flying backward, first letting out a scream, then spitting out a large amount of blood in mid-air.

"How is that possible!!!"

"No! Don't..."

At this moment, Li An strode forward. The one sent flying was naturally his opponent. After realizing Li An's terrifying nature, this person still chose to clash head-on with Li An, and the result was self-evident: he was directly severely injured by a single punch from Li An on the spot.

And facing the threshold of entering the top ten thousand, Li An naturally didn't want to waste any more time with this person. Since the other party was careless, he naturally wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity.

Bang!

The next second, Li An, ignoring the opponent's words, brought his fist down directly. The opponent's words abruptly ceased.

[Ding! You have defeated 10042 opponents. Your current ranking has risen to 10021.]

[Hint: Due to your extremely high win streak, if you choose to continue the challenge this time, you will be matched with a Contractor within the top ten thousand.]

Note: If the challenge is successful, your ranking will be recorded by the Myriad Worlds!
