The Terrifying "Weight Burden Technique"

Wei Zitong and his four companions were the first to enter Rui Mengmeng's Area 10.

Lena's original plan was to bombard her way through, leveling the hellscape where demons ran rampant!

But Wei Zitong objected to her suggestion. This was a red line for Lena using Solar Flare Bombardment; she couldn't be allowed to entertain destructive thoughts, not even for a virtual world map!

Once this kind of thing started, it would be impossible to stop. When Lena encountered difficulties, her first thought would be to flatten the entire area with a Solar Flare Bombardment. This would birth a destructive evil god and truly make Lena the greatest disaster in the known universe!

Of course, Wei Zitong wouldn't say these thoughts aloud to Lena. He simply said, "There's no need."

So, Lena led the group forward, crushing everything in their path like cutting through vegetables, treating it as a way to relax.

Lena raised her hand, and micro-radiation-free Solar Flare Bombardments shot out like a machine gun, clearing a large open space in front of them.

Rui Mengmeng guarded the right flank, shouting and hacking and slashing with her sword. This was her second time here, and she was still a bit afraid of the ugly appearance of these demons.

Wuji Yi guarded the left flank. His sword was sharp, emphasizing stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Every swing guaranteed the death of a demon.

As for Zhao Xin, he acted as the mobile force, darting around like a flying raptor. His figure almost never stopped moving, targeting all the stragglers or small demons who were too afraid to advance.

As for Wei Zitong, he stood in the center, continuously casting buffs like "Immense Strength" on everyone, while also keeping an eye on Rui Mengmeng. After all, the child didn't have much combat experience, and there were many stragglers. Furthermore, she didn't conserve her stamina, consuming it at an extreme rate. He might have to defend the right flank later.

"Haha, damn, this is too exhilarating! Woohoo..." Zhao Xin's figure flickered, almost invisible. His speed was too fast. Wei Zitong had also developed an additional buff, which was inspired by an advertisement for a certain brand of shoes: "Limitless Speed"!

"Don't get too carried away, or I'll blow you up!" Lena shouted. Zhao Xin was getting way too cocky. After clearing all the surrounding small demons, he actually ran into the area Lena was bombarding to steal kills, weaving through the gaps of the micro-solar flare explosions!

"Sister Na, you can fire with confidence!" Zhao Xin replied with a laugh. "It's all about the thrill!"

"Thrill, huh?" Lena chuckled. Several micro-solar flares in her hand rapidly converged, with countless light clusters joining them. They gradually formed a small sun the size of a human head, so bright it hurt to look at!

"Don't..." Zhao Xin's face drained of color at the sight. He flashed to the rear of the group.

"Mengmeng said there's an evolved demon here at the peak level of a Second Generation Super Soldier. This goddess has to go all out!" Lena pointed to an abandoned building several hundred meters ahead.

"Right, right!" Rui Mengmeng nodded repeatedly. As she spoke, she looked up and shouted, "It's coming out, it's coming out!"

Everyone followed her gaze and saw a black shadow slowly soaring from the rooftop of the abandoned building, holding a dark, massive sword.

"That sword is really powerful, it has so much strength!" Rui Mengmeng said. "It can also fly. I fought it for a long time before I remembered I could use the tractor beam to hold it!"

"The sword is powerful? Let me!" Wuji Yi's eyes lit up at the mention of a sword, and he immediately charged forward.

"No need!" Lena waved her hand, her eyes fixed on the black shadow, and said without turning her head, "White Horse, you control it!"

"There's only one best chance, and the distance is too far!" Wei Zitong said.

"Then get closer!" Zhao Xin said.

"It'll fly away if we get closer!" Rui Mengmeng said. "Our side is so powerful, that demon is very timid. Yesterday, it tried to escape when it saw it couldn't beat me!"

"Can we use the 'Immobilization Technique'?" Lena asked.

"No, the 'Immobilization Technique' binds a Second Generation Super Soldier for too short a time!" Wei Zitong shook his head, took a step forward, and shouted at the rising black shadow on the roof of the distant abandoned building, "Your weight is no less than ten tons!"

This was the limit of his exertion for a Second Generation Super Soldier's weight burden. As soon as he spoke, the energy within him was instantly depleted, but Zhao Xin and the others who heard this involuntarily shivered.

The black shadow, which had been slowly rising, instantly froze in mid-air. Like a bird hit by a bullet, it flapped its wings violently, but its body uncontrollably plummeted downwards!

The already precarious abandoned building collapsed in its upper half under the impact of ten tons of force, kicking up large clouds of dust.

"Now!" Lena's eyes narrowed, and she immediately threw the concentrated solar flare she had been holding!

"Cough..." Wei Zitong felt a little lightheaded. His energy had been consumed too quickly. Lena, with her quick reflexes, raised her hand and rapidly gathered a light sphere, pressing it into Wei Zitong's body.

At that very moment, the area where the abandoned building was located erupted in blinding light, making it impossible to open one's eyes. The surrounding light instantly seemed dim, and all objects cast long shadows due to the intense light!

This was followed by a deafening roar and a terrifying shockwave, forcing everyone to retreat!

"Damn, Sister Na, are you dropping nukes?" Zhao Xin shouted, his voice distorted by the waves of air.

"How should I know? This is my first time using this kind of concentrated solar flare bombardment. This was still Zi Tong's... no, White Horse's idea..." Lena also shouted, her long hair blown by the air current, slapping Wei Zitong's face painfully. He had to move to a different spot.

They could no longer bear to look at the scene at the abandoned building. Under the power of such a solar flare bombardment, if anyone could survive, they would consider themselves defeated.

As expected, a system prompt soon came: "Area 10 has been cleared!"

Ge Xiaolun and the others, who were attacking Area 1, were startled by the system announcement that Area 10 had been cleared. In that instant, they all thought Wei Zitong and his group had cleared all corresponding areas!

Du Qiangwei and Cheng Yaowen, who had recovered their senses, were deep in thought. Cheng Yaowen said, "It seems our plan needs some adjustments. We can't just conquer areas according to their numerical order. We should tackle the easy ones first!"

"Agreed!" Du Qiangwei nodded. "They are making tactical adjustments. We need to speed up too!"

"Alright!" Ge Xiaolun instantly felt energized. He brandished his greatsword and charged forward under the dense artillery fire!

Wei Zitong and his group's next destination was Area 6, corresponding to Wuji Yi. This time, they hesitated no longer. Lena unleashed a large wave of micro-solar flare bombardments, sending the Sword Saint and his subordinates flying!

However, the system's clearance prompt did not come, proving that the Sword Saint had not died.

Zhao Xin was the first to charge. With Wei Zitong's speed buff, he was so fast he was almost invisible!

However, facing Zhao Xin's terrifying speed, the battered Sword Saint made no move. Instead, he closed his eyes, covered his ears, gripped his sword with both hands, and stood like a mountain!

"Ha!"

The Sword Saint roared and drew his sword with lightning speed, skillfully deflecting Zhao Xin's fierce attack. He then spun his body and kicked Zhao Xin in the backside, sending him flying!

"Hmm, Zhao Xin still lacks skill," Lena clicked her tongue and said.

"Waaah, gurgle glug glug!" Wuji Yi uttered a string of unintelligible words before lunging forward with a fierce thrust!

The Sword Saint smirked, not even opening his eyes. With a diagonal upward crescent slash, he easily deflected Wuji Yi's thrust. Then, he drew his sword in an arc. It looked slow, but it was incredibly fast, creating afterimages as it left wound after wound on the weak points of Wuji Yi's Dark Alloy Armor!

At the same time, without looking back, he flicked his sword-holding hand in reverse, sending the charging Zhao Xin back to his original form. With a slight turn of his wrist, he effortlessly plunged his blade into Zhao Xin's shoulder!

Zhao Xin had reacted quickly; otherwise, the sword would have hit his neck. But even with the sword in his shoulder, the pain made him roar, though it was useless. His furious attack was easily neutralized by the Sword Saint!

"Too weak!" Lena shook her head.

"Weren't Brother Zhao Xin and Master Yi already very strong yesterday? How come they can't beat this Sword Saint even when teaming up today?" Rui Mengmeng asked anxiously.

"The plan has changed!" Wei Zitong said. "It looks like not only the map has been reset, but everyone's enhanced power has been reset too!"

"Yes, we must force them to unleash their potential!" Lena nodded, then shouted at Zhao Xin, "Zhao Xin, come back!"

"Huh?" Zhao Xin was momentarily stunned. In that brief moment of daze, he was heavily kicked by the Sword Saint again, spitting blood as he flew backward!

"Brother Xin, hurry back!" Wei Zitong also called out.

Zhao Xin ran back like a gust of wind, his face dark as he looked at Lena and Wei Zitong, hoping for an explanation.

"Your powers have been weakened!" Wei Zitong said. "You need to be tempered by opponents of the same Gene Model to reawaken them!"

"Right!" Lena continued. "This way, we'll have an easier time fighting Asura and a better chance against the Dragon Vulture!"

"We miscalculated, we should have thought of this earlier!" Wei Zitong said, rubbing his temples in frustration.

As soon as Zhao Xin retreated, Wuji Yi's pressure increased dramatically. He was quickly defeated, covered in blood!

The Sword Saint pointed his sword at Wuji Yi's throat, then turned to look at Lena and the others. Although his eyes remained closed, his face was full of threat and mockery.

"Damn it, this temper of mine..." Zhao Xin could barely contain himself and wanted to rush forward again, but Wei Zitong held him back.

"Go, Master Yi!" Rui Mengmeng shouted. She also wanted to rush forward, but she knew it wasn't the time, so she could only cheer him on!

"Go!" Wei Zitong and the others shouted in unison.

"Get up! Old Yi, don't be a coward!" Zhao Xin directly cursed. "Get up! Kill him!"

"Hehehehehehe!" Wuji Yi coughed up blood and laughed maniacally. "With your support, I, Wadashi wa, am satisfied!"

With that, a terrifying aura emanated from him. He could feel an invisible sword dancing with his will...

In an instant, Wuji Yi drew his sword with extreme speed, his power astonishing, forcing the Sword Saint back several steps!

The Sword Saint suddenly opened his eyes, shock evident in them. He pointed at Wuji Yi and said something in "jigijigila."

Wei Zitong guessed it was something like, "Impossible, you shouldn't be this strong."

Wuji Yi replied with a long string of "jigijigila" himself, then raised his sword and shouted in broken Chinese, "The Warrior's Honor will be forged at this moment!"

"Alright, Wuji Yi has reached the level of a Third Generation Super Soldier. Attack!" Lena waved her hand, throwing a miniature Solar Flare Bombardment!

Wuji Yi's extremely serious expression changed abruptly. He rapidly retreated several times, covering dozens of meters!

The Sword Saint snorted coldly, leaped a hundred meters into the air, and brandished his long sword, creating streaks of sword shadows. For the first time ever, he spoke Chinese: "The first time was unexpected. Did you think the second time would still be effective against me? Foolish!"

Wei Zitong's lips curved upwards. He shouted up at the Sword Saint in the sky, "Your weight is no less than ten tons!"

Lena reacted quickly. The moment Wei Zitong used the Weight Burden Technique, she connected a severed energy conduit to him, preventing him from dying of energy depletion. After all, his opponent was a Third Generation Super Soldier, not like the Second Generation Demon in District 10!

The Sword Saint felt his body instantly become incredibly heavy. The beautiful arc of his jump suddenly bent, and he uncontrollably plummeted downwards, directly into the miniature Solar Flare Bombardment that had reached his position!
