182: Don't dare to ask!

After making up his mind, Legisamon began to look around at everything inside the Eastern Treasury.

Having obtained Lin Tianwei's approval, he was free to choose any treasure from the treasury.

This was also Lin Tianwei's reward to Legisamon for guiding him.

After all, Legisamon was just an ordinary person.

Even if he ate his fill, it would be impossible for him to consume many heavenly treasures.

Lin Tianwei was never stingy with rewards for those who could help him.

Anyway, these treasures, which were rare and hard to come by in the eyes of ordinary people, were merely things he could seize at will.

However, this small favor Lin Tianwei casually bestowed was the greatest fortune in Legisamon's life.

It just depended on whether he could fully grasp the immense fortune bestowed by Lin Tianwei.

After a moment of hesitation, Legisamon finally chose a purplish-red fruit.

The purplish-red fruit, as large as a heart, lay quietly in the display cabinet, looking very harmless.

Legisamon even began to imagine the incredibly sweet taste of this fruit.

Although he couldn't name this purplish-red fruit, it didn't stop him from considering it his first food.

No other reason.

It was simply because Lin Tianwei had eaten it.

Legisamon was not a fool.

Through observation, he found that Lin Tianwei only selectively consumed certain heavenly treasures.

This meant that even someone as powerful as Lin Tianwei dared not eat these heavenly treasures indiscriminately.

At the same time, it also meant one thing: the heavenly treasures Lin Tianwei had eaten were most likely harmless to the body.

And Legisamon had personally seen Lin Tianwei eat this kind of purplish-red fruit.

Naturally, he ate it with great peace of mind.

However, he seemed to have overlooked one thing: the reference point for 'harmless'.

What Lin Tianwei considered harmless was naturally based on his own body.

Moreover, there was another scenario where Lin Tianwei would not choose to use the heavenly treasures before him: if these heavenly treasures were too trashy and Lin Tianwei simply couldn't be bothered with them.

In other words, any heavenly treasure worthy of being consumed by Lin Tianwei was, without exception, an existence brimming with powerful energy, explosive to the extreme.

And Legisamon? He didn't have Lin Tianwei's abnormal physical constitution.

So, as soon as he bit into the purple fruit, he instantly regretted it.

The purplish-red fruit melted in his mouth.

It didn't even require Legisamon to chew; it instantly turned into an extremely bitter purplish-red juice that slid into his stomach.

The extremely unpleasant taste was a minor issue.

The scariest part was the powerful energy contained within the purplish-red juice.

Like a raging fire, it gradually burned through Legisamon's entire body as it circulated with his blood.

These heavenly treasures all had one characteristic: they were very easily absorbed by the human body.

In other words, Legisamon didn't even have time to react before he was already assaulted by the terrifying energy hidden within it.

The terrifying energy instantly swept through Legisamon's entire body.

Even with his body, he couldn't completely resist the erosion of the terrifying energy.

As if ignited by an invisible fire, he began to writhe in pain on the ground.

Pain.

Intense pain eroded Legisamon's entire body.

Large beads of sweat dripped incessantly.

He even felt his soul burning.

Yet, in such a painful situation, Legisamon's eyes were filled with determination.

He stared intently at Lin Tianwei's sleeping body.

As if the colossal figure before him was the sole belief in his heart.

Just looking at him could provide him with endless power.

Scorched by the invisible fire, Legisamon's body began to lose a large amount of water.

Cracks appeared, parched as if in a cracked field.

From the cracks, a large amount of fresh blood seeped out.

It looked incredibly tragic.

However, even in such a tragic situation, Legisamon's lips were constantly moving.

He was praying.

He was supplicating.

He believed Lin Tianwei would bestow upon him great power.

As long as he wanted it, all of this would become reality!

In his eyes burned an unquenchable flame!

This situation made Lin Tianwei, who was preparing to save Legisamon, give up on intervening.

Although he could easily save Legisamon, it wasn't the best option.

Only by breaking through his limits could Legisamon become stronger and achieve greater results.

So, Lin Tianwei was willing to give Legisamon a chance.

A chance to become stronger.

Unless Legisamon absolutely couldn't endure it, Lin Tianwei wouldn't intervene.

—

Just as Lin Tianwei slept and Legisamon was surrounded by the pain of Reinforcement, MacArthur also fell into a dilemma.

When he saw Lin Tianwei's claws easily break through the Eastern Treasury's door, he felt a bit disheartened.

This door, on which countless people had placed high hopes, ultimately failed to protect America's face.

How was Lin Tianwei opening the door?

He was clearly using his enormous claws to tear at the entire face of America.

Ultimately, America's face couldn't bear the burden, succumbed, and was completely torn apart by Lin Tianwei.

It also completely slapped all Americans in the face.

Alas, alas.

Helpless, MacArthur simply gave up.

Anyway, Lin Tianwei would leave eventually.

No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly devour all the heavenly treasures in the treasury.

Although the Tiger King's body seemed powerful, these heavenly treasures were not easy to deal with.

All of them contained powerful energy.

Not to mention, they would also undergo chemical reactions with each other, becoming extremely terrifying.

This was also the reason they could be preserved until now.

If they were that easy to absorb, America wouldn't have kept them as collectibles.

Thinking of this, MacArthur stopped inquiring and dared not inquire about matters in the Eastern Treasury.

He couldn't control Lin Tianwei's affairs!

He could only pray devoutly to God, hoping Lin Tianwei would leave quickly.

But he didn't know that his actions were utterly ridiculous.

Praying to God?

He might as well kneel directly to Lin Tianwei and beg for mercy.

Perhaps if Lin Tianwei was in a good mood, he would choose a gentler way of robbing.

At least it wouldn't cause such heavy losses to the buildings in Las City.

However, MacArthur waited and waited but never saw Lin Tianwei leave.

Instead, he saw Lin Tianwei lie down and go to sleep.

He looked as if he wouldn't leave until he had eaten all the heavenly treasures here.

He wasn't afraid that someone would take advantage of his sleep to attack him.

This situation was completely different from the scene MacArthur had imagined.

The steady snoring was simply the loudest slap, fiercely striking MacArthur and the entire face of America.

Opening the door to invite a thief had already made all of America lose face.

Now, it was even worse.

Lin Tianwei, this shameless bandit, wasn't content with just robbing his treasury.

He even leisurely settled down, as if he wouldn't stop until he had emptied the treasury.

This behavior almost made MacArthur furious enough to spit blood.

This was another affront to America's dignity.

If this problem wasn't dealt with, what face would America have to call itself the strongest nation?

Facing Lin Tianwei's arrogant display, how could MacArthur not be enraged?

He was even angry enough to want to send people to completely eliminate Lin Tianwei, even if it meant using nuclear weapons!

Of course, this was just a fantasy.

He was, after all, the Supreme Commander of America, a man who had earned the title of Five-Star General.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't do such a foolish thing.

The Tiger King wasn't worth it.

He wasn't worth dragging all of America down with him.

Just wait a little longer, until plan b was fully implemented and on track.

Then he would definitely be able to fight a brilliant comeback battle!

As for now, although MacArthur felt stifled, he was helpless against Lin Tianwei.

Lin Tianwei had already proven his strength to everyone in the previous battle.

They simply had no ability to contend with him.

Humiliation, yet helplessness.

MacArthur dared not question Lin Tianwei's actions.

He could only let him do as he pleased on his land.

Suddenly, MacArthur felt his heart was so tired.

Every second he watched the footage was a torment to his heart.

Thinking of this, he simply closed his eyes and, in humiliation, turned off the surveillance cameras.

Choosing to ignore it to ease his mind.

If you dare.

If you dare, come over here and kill me!

Anyway, if there was truly something important, he believed Etna would definitely report it to him.

This act of burying his head in the sand wouldn't delay his decision-making.

And Etna?

Looking at the deeply sleeping Lin Tianwei, he was incredibly glad he had been vague earlier.

Being humiliated was a small matter.

After all, his skin was certainly not thin.

But to be held accountable by MacArthur for such a thing, to be accused of being ineffective, that would truly be extremely unjust.

Just as MacArthur thought, while MacArthur dared to turn off the surveillance video, Etna dared not at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Tianwei's claws scratched at the Eastern Treasury's door, again and again.

The screeching sound seemed not to be scratching an iron door, but rather clawing at his heart.

Until the Eastern Treasury's door was completely destroyed, Etna felt his confidence was also destroyed.

Irresistible!

This terrifying tiger before him was absolutely irresistible.

Even watching through a screen was enough to make Etna tremble with fear.

But soon, Etna found a balancing point... Legisamon.

Having eaten indiscriminately, he was now in a critical state.

His painful appearance made Etna feel incredibly refreshed.

Shameless human traitor.

Has no one ever told you not to eat things you don't recognize?

You'd best die immediately.

Perhaps the Tiger King, without new coordinates, would choose to leave after plundering this treasury.

—

In fact, countless people were cursing Legisamon just like Etna.

Facing the terrifying Lin Tianwei, even imagining him, not many dared to speak out.

Although they didn't admit it verbally, in reality, they had already acknowledged Lin Tianwei's strength from the bottom of their hearts, and were terrified!

In this situation, Legisamon naturally became the best outlet for their frustration.

This shameless human traitor.

He deserved to go to hell.

That terrifying "devil fruit" had better kill Legisamon directly.

However, they were still a bit too naive.

As long as Lin Tianwei disagreed, even the God of Death would find it difficult to take Legisamon's life.

And the reason Lin Tianwei hadn't intervened was simply because Legisamon didn't need him to.

Under the influence of his tenacious willpower, Legisamon finally endured the most dangerous period.

The pain began to recede.

His body began to absorb the energy contained in the purplish-red fruit, starting to become stronger!

Legisamon was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

Almost.

He was almost swallowed by that terrifying energy.

He almost didn't make it out alive.

The terrifying purplish-red energy constantly destroyed his body.

And then merged with it.

Using this incredibly brutal method, Legisamon became even stronger.

Brutal, painful, yet extremely effective.

Legisamon, who ultimately endured it, gained tremendous benefits.

However, Legisamon didn't feel the slightest joy of surviving a catastrophe.

Because Lin Tianwei's existence was like a towering mountain, pressing down on his heart.

Just eating one bite of the purplish-red fruit was already difficult for him to resist.

After all, this was damage from the inside out.

It was hard to imagine.

How terrifying Lin Tianwei, who ate these heavenly treasures like meals, truly was.

Having experienced the power of the purplish-red fruit, Legisamon gained a deeper understanding of Lin Tianwei's strength.

This was a personal feeling that only he, having personally experienced the power of the purplish-red fruit, could have.

He reined in the shock in his heart.

Legisamon felt his body brimming with power.

Great risks naturally correspond to great rewards.

Although he had circled death, he also gained immense power from it.

Legisamon felt his body full of power, giving him a feeling that he had to let it out.

This feeling drove his body, wanting to do something immediately.

To vent the energy hidden within his body.

Thinking of this, Legisamon disregarded the pain in his body.

He flipped over and stood up.

He slammed his fist fiercely against the wall of the Eastern Treasury.

However, an embarrassing thing happened.

Facing Legisamon's attack, the wall of the Eastern Treasury remained motionless.

It only managed to emit a faint sound, as if cooperating with Legisamon's performance.

This situation.

Even with Legisamon's thick skin, his face flushed slightly.

He saw Lin Tianwei easily destroy the Eastern Treasury's gate and thought he could also cause some damage to the wall.

Even if he couldn't break through, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as it being completely motionless.

It must be that he didn't perform well just now.

Thinking of this, Legisamon's fist began to gather strength.

At the moment his power reached its peak, he slammed it against the wall of the Eastern Treasury again.

Seeing this, Etna couldn't help but laugh and mocked:

"This human traitor is utterly ridiculous."

"The materials used to build the Eastern Treasury are all one in a million."

"In terms of strength, it's even sturdier than the outermost wall of Las City."

"It's simply impossible for anyone to break through it bare-handed."

After saying this, Etna subconsciously covered his mouth.

Indeed, no one could break through bare-handed.

But the Eastern Treasury's gate, which he was so proud of, had been violently destroyed by a tiger not long ago.

Facing such a humiliating situation, he really had no reason to be proud.

He could only glare at Lin Tianwei with resentment.

If he weren't helpless against Lin Tianwei, Etna would definitely make him pay!

Inside the Eastern Treasury.

Just as Etna said, Legisamon's actions were utterly ridiculous.

What Lin Tianwei could easily do was an absolutely impossible task for Legisamon.

His fists, imbued with immense power, pounded against the wall, yet had absolutely no effect.

Other than his fists becoming sore, there was almost no change.

However, Legisamon didn't feel discouraged in the slightest.

He continued to vent the excess power in his body in this way.

He had already thought everything through.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to try and compete with Lin Tianwei.

That wasn't just asking for abuse; it was a sign of a problematic mind.

There was no hope of winning at all.

He was merely tempering his body in this way.

As expected.

After countless punches, Legisamon felt much better.

He had almost fully absorbed all the power of the purplish-red fruit.

Thinking of this, his eyes burned with eagerness as he looked at the remaining purplish-red fruit.

Without hesitation, he took another bite.

However, this time, the portion he ingested was much smaller than the first bite.

He wasn't a monster like Lin Tianwei, who could devour such terrifying heavenly treasures with impunity.

Eating a small bite was already his body's limit.

As expected.

As the energy of the purplish-red fruit flowed throughout his body, Legisamon's body was once again filled with power.

However, this time, because he consumed a smaller portion, the energy wasn't as overbearing.

It allowed Legisamon to absorb it little by little.

Thinking of this, Legisamon no longer hesitated.

He returned to the wall of the Eastern Treasury and began his simple punching practice.

With each punch, he thoroughly integrated the overbearing power of the purplish-red fruit into himself.

Becoming stronger little by little!

— —

"Strength +500, Stamina +400, Agility +350, Mental Power +200!"

Time passed minute by minute.

It took a full three days.

Lin Tianwei finally completely digested and absorbed the energy he gained from consuming heavenly treasures last time.

His attributes also received a huge boost.

Three days.

Not too long, not too short.

However, it was during this not-so-short period that the entire Eastern Treasury, apart from the sounds of Legisamon's punches, remained silent.

It was as if it were a place existing independently of the world, left untouched.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei found it somewhat amusing.

America, which prided itself on its strength, ultimately completely succumbed to his immense power.

Even with such a large target as himself.

Just lying there, letting them do as they pleased, they couldn't find any way to kill him.

However, it must be said that this method of burying one's head in the sand was quite good.

At least it wouldn't cause heavy losses to America's forces.

It was just a pity for Lin Tianwei.

He missed out on a bit of warm-up activity after meals.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei stopped wasting time and once again looked at the heavenly treasures in the entire Eastern Treasury.

Quickly devouring them and then becoming even stronger was what he should be doing.

Although Lin Tianwei was basically in an invincible state now.

However, a faint sense of crisis still made him somewhat wary.

This was a warning given to him by his Talent: Danger Perception.

However, this warning seemed to be without a trace.

Although it constantly lingered in Lin Tianwei's mind.

But upon careful search, there were no clues.

Helpless, Lin Tianwei could only continue to grow stronger.

He believed that as long as he became incomparably powerful, nothing would be able to harm him.

With this belief, Lin Tianwei continued his grand endeavor of eating.

Heavenly treasures, each containing terrifying energy, were devoured by him, transforming into energy and completely integrating into his body.

Little by little, making him even stronger.

"Strength +400, Stamina +300, Agility +300, Mental Power +150!"

... "Strength +400, Stamina +300, Agility +300, Mental Power +150!"

Another six days passed, and Lin Tianwei finally completely digested all the heavenly treasures in the entire Eastern Treasury.

His attributes also received a terrifying boost.

However, this time, Lin Tianwei didn't plan to go to the next treasury.

It wasn't because he was merciful enough to spare Las City and all of America.

But because his body had reached its limit.

These heavenly treasures, containing immense energy, were all the essence of nature, containing terrifying power.

Under normal circumstances, a gentler method of absorption would be required.

But to prevent these heavenly treasures from being transferred, Lin Tianwei could only use the most violent method of absorption.

Such a violent absorption method naturally couldn't be without harm to Lin Tianwei's body.

Even if the harm from each heavenly treasure was very low for Lin Tianwei.

But accumulated, it was enough to put a huge burden on Lin Tianwei's body.

What's more.

America wasn't full of fools.

How could they let him clear out one treasury after another?

The Southern Treasury and the Eastern Treasury were merely caught off guard.

After six full days, Lin Tianwei didn't believe that the other party would still leave a treasury full of treasures for him.

Most likely, the contents inside had already been transferred.

Even if Lin Tianwei went, it would only be a waste of his energy.

However, it was clear that Legisamon didn't have Lin Tianwei's intelligence.

Obsessed with training, he had even trained his IQ down.

He looked at Lin Tianwei with excitement and suggested, "Respected Tiger King Sir."

"The Eastern Treasury no longer has any use. Which treasury should we go to next?"

"I think the Western Treasury is excellent."

"Although it's not as rich as the Eastern Treasury, it's definitely a good place worth visiting."

It's no wonder Legisamon was so excited.

Following Lin Tianwei in his looting, he experienced for the first time how quickly one's strength could improve.

Under the nourishment of heavenly treasures, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming at least twice as strong within just a few days.

This terrifying speed of improvement was something he couldn't have imagined before.

It wasn't that Eliseo was stingy with him.

It was just that neither Eliseo nor Legisamon himself.

Were willing to risk the great danger of death to try terrifying heavenly treasures.

And those relatively milder heavenly treasures naturally had ordinary effects.

Many even had powerful side effects.

It was difficult to quickly accumulate Legisamon's strength.

Without answering Legisamon's question, Lin Tianwei scanned the entire Eastern Treasury.

He finally found his target on a display shelf.

It was an eye immersed in a strange blood-red liquid.

As if alive, it was staring fixedly at the Eastern Treasury's gate.

That was its yearning for freedom.

The silver light occasionally flashing in its pupils indicated that it definitely hid terrifying abilities.
