181: Digest and become stronger!

"Guide me."

"To the next Treasury!"

Just as Legisamon wondered what else Lin Tianwei had to do, he heard Lin Tianwei's incredibly authoritative voice.

A voice so authoritative that he couldn't refuse!

Legisamon's eyes were filled with shock.

He secretly thought that this Lord Tiger King was truly audacious.

Having just raided one of Las City's Treasuries, he still wasn't satisfied and had already set his sights on the second Treasury.

Legisamon then became joyful.

His battle armor suddenly seemed less appealing.

If he had the chance to attack the second Treasury, and had chosen earlier, wouldn't he have been able to obtain the battle armor he had always dreamed of?

Although he was Eliseo's personal bodyguard, Legisamon didn't have very good battle armor.

It wasn't that Eliseo was unwilling to enhance the strength of his subordinates.

After all, Legisamon was his personal bodyguard.

His strength, without a doubt, also represented Eliseo's level of safety.

However, for Espers as powerful as Legisamon, battle armor was basically useless.

It might even become a burden.

Eliseo naturally wouldn't allow Legisamon to wear battle armor.

And the reason Legisamon was so obsessed with battle armor was a simple one: it was cool.

Anyway, he wasn't anyone's personal bodyguard now.

Lin Tianwei naturally didn't need his protection.

In fact, as long as he was in the farm, he could still receive Lin Tianwei's blessing.

So, for the sake of being cool, slightly lowering his strength was an acceptable trade-off.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand towards the south and said:

"Lord Tiger King, although every Treasury contains plenty of treasures."

"But their focus is not the same."

"As far as I know, the Eastern Treasury contains a large number of natural treasures, which might be Lord Tiger King's favorite Treasury."

Although Legisamon was more envious of the Treasury full of weapons and equipment.

But since he planned to follow Lin Tianwei, he naturally had to consider his new boss.

From the situation in the Southern Treasury just now, it was clear that Lin Tianwei preferred natural treasures.

Although he didn't know why Lin Tianwei only selectively consumed them.

But Legisamon knew that choosing the Eastern Treasury was definitely the right choice.

Sure enough, he soon received a positive reply from Lin Tianwei.

Without hesitation, Legisamon pointed directly towards the location of the Eastern Treasury.

Then a gust of wind blew, and the man and the tiger once again embarked on a lightning-fast journey.

Only this time, no one dared to ignore this duo anymore.

The elite warriors responsible for guarding the Treasury couldn't even last ten seconds.

This was a heavy blow to the entire America.

Their elites were nothing but ants in front of the Tiger King.

That yellow figure, like a nightmare, weighed heavily on everyone's chests.

Pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.

This time, even the arrogant MacArthur learned his lesson and didn't dare to speak rashly.

He cautiously asked Etna: "Etna, what do you think about the Tiger King going to the Eastern Treasury?"

What do I think?

I'll sit and watch, what else can I do?

If it weren't for MacArthur's intimidating power, Etna would have cursed.

In this situation, should he answer good or not good?

Yes or no?

He could only grit his teeth and say: "The Tiger King's combat power is beyond imagination."

"At least stronger than we imagined."

"However, due to terrain limitations, the Tiger King cannot utilize his speed advantage as he did when attacking the city wall."

"Without a running start, his impact force will be significantly reduced."

"As for the Eastern Treasury?"

"Because Eliseo used the strongest alloy to build it, its sturdiness is even more exaggerated than the city wall."

At this point, Etna simply closed his mouth.

No conclusion.

The rest was left for MacArthur to figure out himself.

Say less, make fewer mistakes; this was his principle for dealing with people.

Thinking of this, Etna felt his heart was so tired.

Once upon a time, he was also a data analyst who spoke freely.

Able to accurately derive precise answers.

And confidently state them.

However, all of this completely changed after encountering Lin Tianwei.

It was like an unshakeable nightmare, enveloping his heart.

Making him even learn to be cautious in his words and actions, eventually only able to use this feigned method to avoid being proven wrong.

However, this was clearly not the answer MacArthur wanted.

He frowned and asked: "So what is your conclusion?"

"I want an accurate, precise conclusion."

Or maybe I should just resign from this job.

There is no greater sorrow than a heart that has died; Etna actually had the thought of wanting to resign.

But this was only an imagination after all.

He couldn't bear to give up the extremely generous compensation of this job.

Moreover, his whole family depended on his meager salary to live.

Thinking of this, he paused and said: "Given the above situation, I think there is a fifty percent chance that the Tiger King can break through the defenses of the Eastern Treasury."

"At the same time, to avoid unnecessary casualties, I suggest withdrawing all troops stationed at the Eastern Treasury."

"This might be the best option."

Withdraw all troops?

What's the difference between this and inviting a thief to open the door?

Without even symbolic resistance, it was even cheaper than a girl in a brothel.

And such a thing belonged to America's priceless Treasury?

MacArthur felt very angry.

He thought Etna was absolutely crazy to give such an unreliable suggestion.

He immediately said in a low voice: "Etna, I want you to come up with a solution for me."

"Not to propose such a ridiculous suggestion."

"What method can completely eliminate the Tiger King?"

"This is the method I need."

"Not your extremely foolish suggestion."

You're making things difficult for me, Etna.

If you're really capable, find yourself a data analyst who can completely solve this problem.

Thinking of this, Etna simply gave up and said: "There is a way."

"It's just that I don't know if General MacArthur can afford the price."

"Just by pouring all our efforts and using all of America's nuclear weapons."

"I believe there is still over a ninety percent chance of bringing the Tiger King to justice."

Hmm.

Only a ninety percent chance.

Etna originally wanted to say one hundred percent.

But after considering the frequency of being proven wrong by Lin Tianwei recently, he changed it to ninety percent.

This was his last stubbornness.

Are you kidding?

Nuclear weapons?

To eliminate a so-called Tiger King, dropping nuclear weapons on one's own country's territory is an extremely foolish idea.

MacArthur did not want America to become a second Sakura Island.

A Sakura Island full of monsters.

Of course.

If Lin Tianwei appeared on the land of other countries.

Preferably on some Eastern land.

MacArthur would definitely not mind initiating a joint meeting.

Uniting everyone to pressure a certain party to agree to the use of nuclear weapons.

Thinking of this, MacArthur said resentfully: "A mere Tiger King has made the entire America so difficult."

"This is simply a disgrace to the entire America."

"Notify them, I agree to plan b."

"To deal with the great enemy, the Tiger King, making some sacrifices is an acceptable thing."

plan b?

Named after the first letter of the English word BEAST.

Its main goal was to cultivate powerful Awakened Beasts to counter the already existing powerful Awakened Beasts.

Since nature could give birth to powerful Awakened Beasts.

There was no reason why human cultivation couldn't achieve the same effect.

This was the core of this plan.

However, due to the past incident where the Ismail Institute sent out an army of infinite Clone Tigers.

Not only did it not have any effect, but it actually fattened Lin Tianwei's farm.

Which led to the plan being dropped.

But after seeing Lin Tianwei running wild on his own territory.

The feeling of humiliation in his heart made MacArthur ultimately decide to agree to this plan.

Of course.

For plan b to show its power, it would still take a long time.

The cultivation of Awakened Beasts not only required a considerable amount of resources but also a considerable amount of time.

This was also one of the main reasons why plan b was shelved.

And now?

Before plan b yielded results, MacArthur could only watch helplessly as Lin Tianwei ran wild in Las City.

Powerless.

Ultimately, MacArthur still agreed to Etna's humiliating suggestion.

Choosing to withdraw all the forces defending the Treasury.

These defensive forces were America's elites, and they absolutely could not be lost here meaninglessly.

This was a terrible loss for the entire America.

Perhaps the inherent sturdiness of the Treasury itself would be enough to resist Lin Tianwei's attack.

When giving this order, MacArthur even fantasized about such a scenario.

Which was also extremely ridiculous.

Lin Tianwei probably never imagined.

That with just a little display of his power, the entire America would lose the courage to resist.

The so-called extremely important Treasury was just a free place where he could enter and exit at will... Lin Tianwei's speed was very fast.

Before long, he brought Legisamon to the Eastern Treasury.

It had the same setup as the Southern Treasury; the Eastern Treasury was also located deep underground.

However, what was incredibly strange was that Lin Tianwei didn't find a single person here.

Was it a conspiracy?

Or had the other party already given up resistance?

Lin Tianwei was more inclined to the first possibility.

But he was not Sima Yi, who would be scared by Zhuge Kongming's empty fort strategy.

A conspiracy?

Then he would crush it for everyone to see!

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei began to dig tunnels without hesitation.

It must be said that sometimes these inconspicuous Talents are also incredibly useful.

Just like the digging Talent Lin Tianwei was using now.

Although it lacked a bit of domineering power, it was extremely useful.

Allowing Lin Tianwei to reach the gate of the Eastern Treasury while saving a lot of physical strength.

The undefended scene along the way also made Lin Tianwei understand.

They had given up resistance.

The entire America had given up its resistance against him.

They finally knew that he was an existence they absolutely could not provoke.

The goal of establishing his might on this trip was finally achieved.

Without hesitation, Legisamon, whom Lin Tianwei had put down, directly went to the gate and tried to open it using Eliseo's eyes.

But he failed without a doubt.

MacArthur was not a fool.

More than three minutes had already passed; it was simply impossible to allow such a loophole to exist.

Next, it would only depend on whose attack, Lin Tianwei's or the Eastern Treasury's door, was more resilient.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei extended his extremely sharp claws.

Without hesitation, he began to slash at the Eastern Treasury.

The two collided, instantly sparking intense flames due to friction.

The ear-piercing noise was so loud that even Legisamon had to cover his ears.

Soon, the first clash between Lin Tianwei and the Treasury door determined a victor.

A semi-deep claw mark appeared on the Treasury door, indicating the outcome of this confrontation.

As for Lin Tianwei's claws?

Although slightly worn, it was superficial damage.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei's claws possessed Self-healing Ability.

As long as he had enough energy, he could completely regenerate new claws.

This meant that in this confrontation, the only possible victor was Lin Tianwei!

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei immediately activated his Reinforcement Talent.

He Reinforced his tiger claws once more.

He fiercely slashed at the Treasury door with his Reinforced tiger claws.

However, this time, Lin Tianwei gave the Treasury door no time to breathe.

Slash after slash, a dazzling display of fireworks soon erupted on the Treasury door.

Finally, after Lin Tianwei sacrificed five claws, he completely breached the Treasury door's defenses.

Now, he only needed to deliver a few more attacks to easily break through the Treasury door.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei lowered his head and, without hesitation, bit off his extremely worn claws.

Then, he frantically channeled the energy within his body, and soon, a new pair of claws grew back.

Though nascent, they still gleamed with a sharp light.

Following the same method, this formidable door finally fell under Lin Tianwei's claws.

Revealing the treasures hidden within, which were incredibly alluring.

They were countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, precisely what Lin Tianwei needed.

Thinking this, he stepped into the Eastern Treasury without hesitation.

Entering this land that was now completely his.

With the aid of his Danger Perception Talent.

Lin Tianwei could enjoy these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without any risk.

His uninhibited actions made Legisamon's eyes widen slightly, and he couldn't help but remind him:

"Tiger King, more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are not always better."

"Many of them originate from incredibly bizarre Awakened Beasts."

"There are even theories of mutual generation and restraint, so eating them like this might cause problems."

"In fact, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are placed here not because they are useless."

"But because they haven't undergone sufficient testing, and their specific effects and dangers are unknown."

"Please consume them cautiously!"

Legisamon naturally wasn't worried that a small amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would harm Lin Tianwei.

But this was hardly a small amount?

It was an incredibly terrifying amount.

It was more than five times the inventory of the Southern Treasury.

However, Legisamon's warning received no response.

Lin Tianwei was completely immersed in the delightful sensation of enjoying delicious food and constantly growing stronger.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Legisamon, this foolish person.

How could he possibly eat food that was harmful to him?

However, the Eastern Treasury's inventory was simply too vast.

Even with Lin Tianwei being somewhat picky.

After eating a third of it, he was somewhat full.

Even more frightening, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, brimming with powerful energy, began to react within Lin Tianwei's body.

Transforming into a terrifying torrent of energy.

Like a ticking time bomb, it carried the risk of exploding at any moment.

At this point, the best option would be to run around and release the extremely abundant energy within his body.

However, this was clearly not Lin Tianwei's choice.

Looking at his leisurely appearance, already starting to make himself comfortable on the floor, it was clear he had no intention of moving again.

Why expend energy?

Wouldn't it be better to absorb it all?

Bang!

The intense energy surged within Lin Tianwei's body, finally resulting in an explosion.

Even through Lin Tianwei's massive body, it was still exceptionally clear.

Terrifying energy erupted directly.

Its power was even comparable to several missiles exploding simultaneously.

It attempted to break free from the confines of Lin Tianwei's body and return to the world.

However, even such a terrifying explosion could not shake Lin Tianwei's body in the slightest.

It exploded, yet it also seemed as if it hadn't exploded at all.

This terrifying energy continuously reverberated within Lin Tianwei's body.

Ultimately, due to its inability to break free from the confines of Lin Tianwei's body, it completely quieted down.

Being absorbed bit by bit, it thoroughly transformed into nourishment for Lin Tianwei's growth.

"Strength +1!"

"Constitution +1!"

"Agility +1!"

"Mental Power +1!"

...As the energy contained within these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was continuously absorbed by Lin Tianwei.

His strength also began to grow rapidly.

The most direct manifestation was the growth of his attributes.

His four dimensions began to surge wildly.

This was much more cost-effective than simply relying on food supplements.

Especially Lin Tianwei's Mental Power attribute, which was not particularly high to begin with.

Under the nourishment of a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it began to grow rapidly.

Although there was still a significant gap compared to his other attributes.

It definitely held great promise for the future.

This situation made Lin Tianwei sigh, realizing that indeed, murder and arson bring wealth.

Robbery was the fastest way to grow.

Perhaps he should frequently visit his neighbors?

Once this thought arose, it lingered in Lin Tianwei's mind.

Perhaps he could!

However, the most pressing matter was to digest the energy within his body that had not yet been fully absorbed.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei reined in his wandering consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Sleep had always been the most beneficial way to grow.

Lin Tianwei was asleep, but his actions had terrified Legisamon beside him.

Resisting the energy explosion of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with sheer physical strength?

Legisamon couldn't even imagine such an outrageous feat.

Even just the residual power from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures' explosion.

Although nine-tenths of it was absorbed by Lin Tianwei's massive body, it still made him feel an incredibly terrifying tremor.

This tremor, even for him, with his incredibly powerful physique, was not entirely resistible.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Not to mention Lin Tianwei's body, which was at the epicenter of the explosion.

How did his relatively fragile internal organs withstand such terrifying damage?

Legisamon's mind was filled with questions.

He had never imagined that there could be a creature that could withstand the explosion of countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with just its body.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, normally appearing quiet and simple like food.

But when they truly erupted, you would realize how terrifying they could be.

There was once a physical Esper ranked thirty-fifth who suffered a loss because of this.

Presuming on his powerful physique and incredibly potent Self-healing Ability.

When consuming a Fire Dragon Grass, he did not heed the advice of professionals.

Choosing to use a gentler method, a method with fewer side effects.

Eating it bit by bit, in several sittings.

Instead, to fully absorb the energy of this Fire Dragon Grass, he chose to swallow it whole.

But he never expected to pay an incredibly terrifying price for it.

The violent energy of the Fire Dragon Grass instantly erupted.

Starting from his stomach, an incredibly terrifying energy burst forth.

Fire.

Blazing flames began to burn.

Burning throughout his entire body.

From the inside out, it instantly ignited his entire body.

Even though he found a water source in the shortest possible time.

Using the simplest physical methods of cooling, such as drinking water and soaking in water, he still couldn't withstand the Fire Dragon Grass's explosion.

Instead, due to the fusion of water and fire, he suffered even more severe injuries.

Ultimately, because his brain was cooked, he completely lost all hope of survival.

It was precisely after this incident that everyone began to realize.

While these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had incredibly terrifying effects, they also harbored immense risks.

Preferring to give up the opportunity to become stronger directly rather than easily attempting to consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

This had already become everyone's consensus.

However, Lin Tianwei was clearly an existence that could break this consensus.

Having consumed countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he was completely unharmed.

Not only that, but he also withstood the explosion of countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with his physical body.

Such terrifying physical strength was simply inconceivable.

Thinking this, Legisamon's eyes gleamed.

He subconsciously put down the battle armor he had just chosen.

This was a set of threads made from a fusion of Heavenly Silkworm Silk and Blood Spider Silk.

Combined with the scales of a serrated crocodile and a large amount of superalloy, it formed this battle armor.

Not only was its defense excellent, but its red and white color scheme was also incredibly magnificent.

Even more terrifying, supported by excellent design principles, this battle armor barely affected Legisamon's performance.

It would only affect about five percent of Legisamon's combat power.

However, this very battle armor, which he had been incredibly eager for just moments ago, now seemed like a burden.

An item that could be discarded at will.

Lin Tianwei's power.

The power of his physical body suddenly made Legisamon realize.

He was still a bit too weak.

Possessing only this laughable amount of strength, yet being able to get carried away, was simply ridiculous to the extreme.

He shouldn't be obsessed with these external things, but instead, like Tiger King, continue to temper his physical body.

To temper his physical body to an incredibly terrifying degree.

His physical body was the foundation of his strength.

Perhaps then, he too would become an incredibly terrifying Esper.

Although he wouldn't be able to compete with Tiger King.

But at least he wouldn't disgrace Tiger King.

Thinking this, Legisamon's gaze became fervent.

He looked at the remaining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Treasury.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could directly enhance the physical strength of him, a physical Esper.

His body was his foundation.

Compared to those flashy battle armors, these were what he needed most.

Consume.

Then absorb the violent energy hidden within, and he would become even stronger!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone.
