Chapter 543 - 446: Illusion Technique Ineffective: Super Energy Warrior

The lotus emerges from the mud unstained, bathed by clear ripples yet not alluring. Straight-stemmed and hollow-hearted, it neither vines nor branches. Its fragrance grows purer with distance as it stands tall and clean, a sight to be admired from afar, but never to be defiled.

Gao Neng was no lotus.

But he had indeed grown up in a dark environment, and he had managed to preserve his own integrity.

However, this upbringing also caused him to subconsciously avoid certain things, making him seem like he didn’t quite fit in.

But now, Gao Neng had come to a realization about this.

On the Northern District Battlefield, the hopes of a hundred thousand soldiers and twenty million civilians rested on his shoulders. Fang Yuan, Wu Qingjing, and Yutian were also watching him.

But was that all?

No!

Liang Qi was watching him, too, as were Liang Qi’s supporters.

Would these people want Gao Neng to be successfully elected as Speaker of the Parliament?

Absolutely not!

But they absolutely did not want him to lose.

This was acceptance.

When a person could ignite the fighting spirit of all humankind, he could, in turn, embrace all of humankind.

Because in that moment, all he could see was a brilliant golden light, with no trace of filthy, unbearable darkness remaining.

"Madam Lu, Uncle Bai, Tangtang, I’m about to have a breakthrough. Please step back a bit," Gao Neng said calmly, watching the approaching Blood Grand Marshal and King Beiliang.

He already understood his problem.

He was a super genius with 100% fully unlocked hidden talents. But it was precisely because he had too many hidden talents that he had been unable to break through.

But that didn’t really matter.

Because no matter how many hidden talents he had, they all shared a common point. As long as he found that common point, he could break through unconditionally, regardless of the number of talents he possessed.

And Gao Neng had just found that common point among his hidden talents.

Therefore, he could break through at any time.

But to Luna and Uncle Bai, his words were a bolt from the blue.

After all, both Luna and Uncle Bai knew that the entire purpose of Gao Neng coming out of the Underground City this time was to break through to a higher tier.

What did that imply?

It implied that Gao Neng hadn’t been able to break through before!

But now?

Two Tier Nine experts were charging over...

And you’re picking *now* to have a breakthrough?!

Could the timing be any more convenient!

"Gao Neng, don’t lie to us! Breaking through isn’t that easy. We don’t believe you!" Luna was truly skeptical. She thought Gao Neng was clearly spouting nonsense just to get her and Uncle Bai to stop protecting him.

"Yes, I stand by my decision. Gao Neng, you take Tangtang and go first," Uncle Bai agreed with a nod. If Gao Neng had said he was breaking through at any other time, he would have believed him.

But with two Tier Nine aliens flying right at them...

You’re going to break through?

Who would believe that?

"Madam Lu, Uncle Bai... I’m really about to break through..." Gao Neng felt a bit helpless. He had to admit, even to himself, that this was a bit too much, even for a genius.

A crisis arrives, and he immediately has a breakthrough.

It really did sound like something out of a Celestial Book.

But what could he do?

He was just that much of a genius. There was no denying it.

BUZZ!

As soon as he spoke, the energy around Gao Neng, as if drawn by a powerful suction, began to surge madly into his body.

"Magnetic Core Evolution!"

"He’s... really breaking through!"

Luna and Uncle Bai were completely stunned.

Fang Tangtang was also taken aback for a moment, but her face quickly flushed red again. She looked as if she’d just drunk honey, so happy she was about to burst into song.

"Hahaha, Gao Neng, you truly are worthy of being my, Death God Fang Tangtang’s, rival for life! You actually broke through? Excellent! I, Death God Fang Tangtang, will surpass you again!"

Gao Neng was speechless.

’Surpass you again?’

’When have you ever surpassed me in the first place?’

Gao Neng ignored Fang Tangtang.

He focused on his breakthrough.

But the audience watching the live broadcast, as well as the approaching Blood Grand Marshal and King Beiliang, were truly at a loss for words when they saw this scene.

The livestream’s comment section exploded.

"Holy shit, he’s breaking through at a time like this!"

"Gao Neng is so damn cool!"

"Gao Neng, Gao Neng, I love you, like a mouse loves rice!"

"Break through to the high tier, and slay the Tier Nines!"

"..."

The entire population went wild.

Meanwhile, Blood Grand Marshal, King Beiliang, and the surrounding high-tier aliens and their army fell silent.

Gao Neng was breaking through!

What did this mean?!

It meant that the Gao Neng from before... was merely a mid-tier Warrior!

On the Northern District Battlefield, six Tier Nine aliens, over a hundred high-tier aliens, and the two-hundred-thousand-strong Alien Race Alliance Army had been slaughtered into this state by a single Tier Six Late Stage Gao Neng?

’Could it be... that this Gao Neng really is some kind of ’Super Energy Warrior’?!’ A dreadful thought surfaced in Blood Grand Marshal’s mind.

In truth, there had never been any factual basis for the claim that Gao Neng was a Super Energy Warrior.

Furthermore, the alien spies hiding in the City of Hope had never heard of the existence of any such thing as a Super Energy Warrior.

At most, they knew that Gao Neng’s talent was exceptionally strong.

However, among the highest echelons of the alien races, the question of whether Gao Neng was a Super Energy Warrior had always been a veiled, circulating rumor.

The reason was that Gao Neng had previously displayed a level of power that far exceeded that of an ordinary Energy Warrior.

"To possess such power at just Tier Six... If we do not eliminate this Gao Neng today, he will become a catastrophic threat in the future!" King Beiliang said grimly.

"In the future? He’s already a catastrophic threat right now!" Blood Grand Marshal’s gaze turned cold as well.

He was already this powerful at Tier Six Late Stage.

If he breaks through to Tier Seven...
