128: Challenge Win

Wherever the torrent of light transformed from Augustus passed, the ground of the Crimson Wasteland was torn up into massive ravines, and space itself twisted.

The terrifying energy fluctuations had completely reached the level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Inside the Challenge Room, many people held their breath.

“This... this is already an attack at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm level,” Jin Yan said, his eyes widening.

“Augustus is putting his life on the line, but Zhou Xing is just too strong, isn't he? He's been suppressing his opponent throughout the entire fight.”

In the midst of the battlefield, facing the torrent of light that Augustus had become, Zhou Xing's expression did not change at all.

“Forget it, I can't be bothered to play with you anymore. You're only at this level.”

“Boom!”

With a low whisper, an even more powerful aura surged from Zhou Xing's body.

“Peak... Peak of Control?”

Many people in the Challenge Room suddenly erupted in an uproar.

“He really knows how to hide his strength...”

“Looking at it this way, he didn't even use his full strength in the previous battles. This...”

Sensing the aura erupting from Zhou Xing, the torrent of light that Augustus had become paused slightly, seemingly not expecting that his opponent had been hiding his strength all along.

But soon, he recklessly and violently slammed into Zhou Xing!

So what if he's at the Peak of Control? It's too late to erupt now!

Meanwhile, Zhou Xing gave a cold laugh and slammed his hands together. The three divine powers of Ice, Fire, and Healing frantically surged and compressed within his palms.

“Triple-element Resonance: Life's Return to Void!”

Emerald, ice-blue, and crimson energy intertwined into a spiral pillar of light, colliding with Augustus's torrent of light.

The expected explosion and shockwave did not occur. The moment the two forces touched, the entire space seemed to be half-erased, and a brief void appeared.

In the end, everyone only saw Zhou Xing standing calmly in his original spot, the corners of his clothes only slightly dusty.

As for Augustus, his figure had completely vanished.

On the massive holographic projection screen inside the Challenge Room, the result was displayed.

【Winner: Zhou Xing】

【Obtained 5,000 points from the opponent】

At this moment, Augustus had already woken up first within the challenge pod.

He looked like a defeated rooster, his eyes vacant and his expression incredibly dejected.

Zhou Xing woke up immediately after, took off his helmet, and stepped out of the challenge pod.

“Triple-element Fusion... Peak of Control...” Jin Yan muttered to himself. “Just how many trump cards does this guy have left?”

Xing Tian took a deep breath and gave a bitter smile. “I finally understand now why City Lord Wei values him so much.”

Even Chiba Shinichi no longer had any provocative look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Xing; he appeared quite subdued.

However, this was consistent with the nature of those from the East Sea; they dare not offend the strong, but once they gain power one day, they will immediately turn into hyenas and pounce... On the other side, Yue Hua looked at her Commander and whispered, “So, Commander, you knew all along?”

Jiang Ming smiled slightly. “I wasn't aware of his Triple-element Fusion, but I happened to sense it when he broke through to the Peak of Control. This duel today was truly spectacular.”

“It was good to watch, but this might be quite a blow to Augustus. Should we...” Yue Hua began to speak immediately after.

“This is enough to be a blow? If he can't even withstand this much, he is destined to never grow up. You shouldn't be overly sympathetic; wasn't this whole affair provoked by him in the first place?”

Jiang Ming directly interrupted Yue Hua to remind her.

“Yes, Commander, I understand.”

Yue Hua's heart shivered, realizing that her behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.

“You must remember the purpose for which the Special Training Camp was established. What we want is healthy and fair competition; everything must be obtained through one's own strength.

If you, as a mentor, develop favoritism, wouldn't that be unfair to the others?

I only hope they can grow smoothly during these three years. We don't have much time left. Out of forty-seven people, it's still unknown how many will ultimately survive.

The protection period the training camp gives them is only a short year. After a year, if they want to earn more points, they can only accept various missions. At that time, they will be facing Mutated Beasts, Divine Gene, and all sorts of heinous and evil Awakened Ones.”

At this point, a trace of pain flashed through Jiang Ming's expression.

Yue Hua and Gutaruo naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Ming's words.

On the road to growth, no one has smooth sailing. From the creation of the Special Training Camp to the present, it is already the sixth session of The Watchers, but in the end, only half have been able to grow up successfully.

Most of them died unfortunately while out on missions or gaining experience.

“But Commander, the others are one thing, but we don't really understand Zhou Xing's Triple-element Fusion ability. How should we teach him according to his talent in the future?

Fumbling around on his own would be too dangerous.

I'm worried that after seeing Zhou Xing's Triple-element Fusion strength in this match, many people will try it secretly in private.

After all, our training camp has quite a few dual-element students.”

Yue Hua voiced her concerns at this time.

“The point you raised is very important, but even I wouldn't dare to rashly attempt the Fusion of multiple abilities. For now, I think we should issue an order forbidding all students from attempting Fusion, and we must clearly explain the dangers involved.”

Jiang Ming also discovered for the first time a problem that even he felt somewhat helpless about.

After all, compatibility with multiple divinities is an innate talent, but the explosive Fusion of multiple divine powers is not something anyone would joke with their life for.

“How about calling Zhou Xing over to ask for his experience? If we can master this ability, then the strength of many people will see a massive increase.

Take Sister Liu, for example; she is also an Awakened One with triple-element compatibility. If they can be combined, the strength she could exert would definitely reach the Peak Demigod level.

If a viable plan can really be formed, we can give Zhou Xing enough point rewards. After all, if we truly master this multi-element Fusion ability, the strength of our Watchers at all levels will truly surpass Divine Gene.”

Gutaruo also spoke in a booming voice.

“In that case, I will personally go find Zhou Xing to talk with him. This involves personal secrets; if he is unwilling to share, we cannot force him.

Moreover, I imagine he also bore the risk of divine backlash at any time when he first fused them. It remains to be seen whether he himself is certain or if a stable and feasible theoretical method can be formed.”

After a brief deliberation, Jiang Ming made his decision.
