118: tacit agreement?!

uncrowned king—this title is quite useful. Not only does it make people submit, but at the very least, it's a symbol of high character and integrity.

But with a single "Add more money," Ye Su...

...instantly broke the atmosphere for everyone present. Even Cui Hu's brow twitched, and Rong Xi repeatedly glanced over!

However.

This also essentially brought everyone closer together.

Ye Su wasn't talking nonsense.

Even if Ye Su hadn't actually seen the twelve Divine Weapons of Awakening of Insects, he knew from the Professional long saber in his hand that Divine Weapons must be very useful, powerful, and valuable!

Then.

There was the revelation obtained from the Rain Water.

"I damn well can't take on the whole field by myself, so I'll make as many friends as possible."

Never mind if these friends are sincere or not; tying them together with benefits is enough!

And this first wave was Ye Su starting to hand out favors!

"We all have money; it just depends on what you want."

Cui Hu was the first to speak.

He was a smart man and immediately realized that Ye Su might be planning something for the Late Stage. By spreading these favors now, he might be able to mobilize all the Professionals in Great Xia when the time came!

So, he directly provided a stepping stone.

The others weren't fools either and followed suit.

"Yeah, Ye Su, tell us, what do you need? Money, resources, or treasure chests?"

Ying Si said with a smile.

Li Qiankun was even more enthusiastic. After all, he had intended to contact Ye Su from the start, and this move by Ye Su essentially brought everyone closer.

Ye Su smiled.

Chatting with smart people was always comfortable.

In just a few sentences, it felt as though many rules and strategies had been established.

"I don't have any thoughts on what I want for now," Ye Su said.

"Besides, it's too late to think of something on the spot."

As he spoke, he pointed toward the center of the field.

The battle involving Shan Jun was becoming increasingly heated, even reaching a point where Ying Si and the others couldn't understand what was happening.

"Come, everyone, sit cross-legged."

Ye Su said.

"The level of a King-level Lifeform is a natural advantage for those who possess timing."

"As for us, we use Martial Arts visualization objects to gain temporary boosts from devouring Skills!"

"You should be able to perform internal inspection, right? Can you see your visualization objects? Don't be afraid; guide them to devour Skills!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

This...

If this was the true key for humans to enter the King-level Lifeform stage, it was simply preposterous.

So preposterous that if no one guided you, you would never think of it even if you racked your brain.

A materialized Martial Arts visualization object could actually devour Skills?

Holy shit, what kind of brain could come up with this?

After all, having these visualization objects darting around in one's mind was already terrifying.

And yet he wanted them to guide it to devour Skills!

"Truly ridiculous... Ye Su, what kind of brain do you have? You even thought of this?" Cui Hu complained.

He had absolute trust in Ye Su.

The two could be considered life-and-death comrades.

So, he immediately began to guide the Martial Arts visualization object in his mind to try and devour a Skill.

Upon contact.

There were indeed signs of it, but to actually perform the devouring, it seemed some sort of opportunity was still needed.

For example, the Martial Arts visualization object would become stronger.

This required further evolving the Martial Arts, thus giving rise to a third Secret Technique— "Incredible!" After Ying Si entered internal inspection, his entire body trembled.

The path to elevating Martial Arts had appeared once again.

Secret Technique!

It wasn't the only one; in fact, it was just a starting point!

He had still underestimated Ye Su, this uncrowned king; who knew what trump cards he was hiding!

Therefore.

In Ying Si's heart, he was determined to make Ye Su his friend!

"A King-level Lifeform actually has little to do with Physique? It comes from some kind of sublimated bonus of Martial Arts?"

Upon hearing Ye Su's words, Li Qiankun felt as if God had opened a floor-to-ceiling window for him.

Holy crap, the scenery outside is beautiful!

And what Ye Su did was draw back the curtains of that floor-to-ceiling window!

"Don't just work behind closed doors!"

Ye Su's voice rang out again.

"Shan Jun is angry; it's about to enter the Second Stage!"

Everyone snapped their eyes open.

Holy shit!

Shan Jun is a good guy!

As the king of all beasts, it was a target of imitation for many human Martial Arts.

The image of Shan Jun was essentially the ultimate form for certain visualization objects.

Even if Ying Si and the others didn't have beast-type visualization objects, they could still learn by analogy!

Or, lowering expectations a bit.

With six King-level Lifeforms fighting in their Second Stage here, it would be great just to obtain one's own second or third Secret Technique from their boiling blood qi!

Global Occupation.

The path ahead was created and established by the Professionals.

At least.

After this, Cui Hu and the others had to admit.

On the path of progress for Martial Arts, Ye Su had truly laid down a cornerstone!

In the future.

All Professionals, when passing by this cornerstone, would have to acknowledge Ye Su's contribution to all Professionals!

Mo Xiaoyu gradually stabilized.

Seeing everyone Cultivate under Ye Su's guidance, her mind began to race.

One must know that this era had recording equipment.

"I'll film this scene and give it to Zhuge Hu; I wonder if I can sell the copyright!"

Having said that, she immediately got to work!

One could say these were extremely precious images.

If they were spread among Professionals, they would surely fetch an astronomical price at auction!

Then.

Mo Xiaoyu began filming with her phone, at least aiming to capture the routes along which the blood qi traveled.

Out of the corner of her eye.

She noticed Rong Xi was doing the same thing.

So Mo Xiaoyu pointed at herself.

Rong Xi nodded!

This meant, "The copyright is mine, you can't steal my business!"

---The great battle continued.

The vitality and endurance of a King-level Lifeform were terrifying.

It was like that with the Blood Jiao back then; it couldn't be taken down for a long time.

These Five Elders of the Zerg race were also capable fighters.

If their opponent hadn't been Shan Jun, they probably would have cleared the stage long ago!

At the very back, the Willow Tree King swayed its willow branches, its thoughts unknown.

As for the Merfolk, they were purely watching the show.

The ocean was their natural barrier; among those present, they had the greatest advantage!

Roar, roar—Shan Jun roared repeatedly.

In its Second Stage, it didn't undergo any major overall mutation.

Rather, its aura became much heavier.

This heaviness was contagious, causing those present to gradually feel a startling sense of oppression!

"Getting stronger as it fights!"

This was Ye Su's final evaluation of Shan Jun.

In the field, the situation was no longer chaotic.

Instead, Shan Jun was becoming increasingly proactive.

The Five Elders of the Zerg race were retreating in defeat.

Even one of the Black Armored Scorpion's front claws had shattered, with snow-white flesh faintly visible through the black.

Accompanied by waves of a strange fragrance wafting toward him.

Ye Su actually felt his appetite whetted!

He had never actually eaten a real King-level Lifeform before.

Besides.

No matter how you looked at it, this Black Armored Scorpion was still an insect.

Was it possible...

...that it also tastes like chicken? Crunchy?

Ye Su's eyes narrowed.

Suddenly.

Shan Jun's vertical pupils met his gaze for a fleeting moment.

A certain unspeakable tacit understanding sprouted in both their hearts.
