Yan Hai, Dead!

Su Family Villa.

Su Yongyi hadn't entered the Wilderness Zone to hunt for the past few days. He'd originally planned to take Su Zhe there to get some practice, but he hadn't expected Su Zhe to be so absurdly powerful. With nothing left for him to do, he'd had no choice but to stay home.

Though he complained to his old friends, anyone could hear that he was actually bragging.

Su Yongyi didn't care what opportunity Su Zhe had come across.

No matter what, Su Zhe was his son.

"...How do you know my son's a War God?"

That was how Su Yongyi bragged to his old friends.

As for whether they believed him... who cared?

Did it matter if they did?

At the rate Su Zhe's strength was growing, it wouldn't be long before he could become an Inspector or even a Patrol Inspector for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, just like Luo Feng. When that happened, he'd naturally be able to silence all the rumors.

As Su Yongyi was thinking this, he saw Su Zhe return from outside the villa.

"Little Zhe, you're back?"

Su Yongyi looked at Su Zhe with a broad smile and said, "Supervisor Zhuge just called. The Extreme Martial Arts Hall is going to increase the resources it provides you. If you can become an Invincible War God, you can become the Inspector for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City."

Su Zhe: "No need."

"?"

Su Yongyi froze for a moment, then couldn't help saying, "But that's the Inspector position."

"I'm already at the Planetary Level... the Councilor Level, in other words," Su Zhe said.

Su Yongyi was dumbfounded.

It took him a long while to recover.

"You... what happened?"

Su Yongyi couldn't understand.

How had Su Zhe gone from being a Quasi-Martial Artist to a Councilor Level powerhouse in just a few days?

" Dad, Earth... is just an insignificant planet in the universe." Su Zhe thought it over, then explained a little to Su Yongyi. "In the universe, even so-called War God Level fighters are among the weakest."

"Only after reaching the Planetary Level—the Councilor Level on Earth—do you qualify to become a citizen of a universe civilization."

Su Zhe gave him a rough explanation of the universe.

"Well..." Su Yongyi gave a bitter laugh.

All right, he understood now.

Compared to the universe, Earth really was tiny.

And Su Zhe's ambitions were far greater than his.

Su Zhe's goals were actually simple.

He would keep getting stronger. Whether it was achieving immortality or gaining even greater power, both were goals worth pursuing.

If he had the ability to do it, why not do it better?

He couldn't just cling to Luo Feng's coattails, could he?

Besides, Luo Feng had already possessed the Golden Horned Beast. The most difficult period was behind him. Helping him now would be like adding flowers to a brocade; that was nothing like offering help in someone's hour of need.

Su Zhe understood that perfectly.

So he would just have to grow stronger on his own!

"All right." Su Yongyi finally sighed, unable to help feeling that he was getting old.

The Councilor Level, which he'd never be able to reach in his lifetime, was only a starting point in the universe.

Su Zhe patted Su Yongyi on the shoulder. "Dad, you don't need to go to the Wilderness Zone anymore. Later, I'll find a way to bring back some things and help you improve your strength."

"Mm." Su Yongyi nodded.

He could finally enjoy a comfortable life.

After chatting with Su Yongyi a little longer, Su Zhe left the villa again.

This time, he wasn't planning to go to the Wilderness Zone. He intended to visit Luo Feng's home. Maybe he could find Luo Hua and use his knowledge of the future to get his hands on Luo Hua's resources first.

However, not long after Su Zhe left, a figure blocked his path.

This was...

Su Zhe sensed a murderous intent.

After devouring countless monsters, Su Zhe's senses had been enhanced to an astonishing degree. On top of that, he had Psychic Power. Although his Psychic Power wasn't particularly strong, at such close range, sensing someone's emotions was easy.

"Are you Su Zhe?"

Yan Hai turned around. His withered body was like rotten wood, yet it carried the aura of a powerful fighter.

Planetary Level fighters generally lived for around a thousand years.

By the standards of Planetary Level fighters in the universe, Yan Hai was still fairly young.

"Yan Hai."

Su Zhe recognized him immediately and understood what he was after.

Yan Hai must have set his sights on me, Su Zhe thought.

He hadn't exactly hidden his intentions, but Yan Hai had arrived far too quickly.

At this point, it wasn't even certain whether Luo Feng was dead.

How had Yan Hai dared to make a move?

As he thought this, Su Zhe pointed toward the Wilderness Zone, then spread his wings and flew in that direction.

Yan Hai's eyes narrowed. Thinking Su Zhe was trying to escape, he hurried after him.

"Don't think you can get away!"

A War Blade appeared in Yan Hai's hand. He raced through the air. He'd once been a member of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, so naturally he'd learned the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, created by Thunder God. Even the special ability he'd awakened after reaching the Planetary Level was related to thunder and lightning.

The two of them flew one after the other, leaving the Base City behind.

The Base City's defenses were meaningless to them.

In the blink of an eye, they had reached the Wilderness Zone outside the Base City.

Su Zhe deliberately slowed down, waiting for Yan Hai to catch up.

He kept most of his aura concealed, maintaining only the strength of a High-Level War God. The two of them hovered in the air, staring at each other from a distance.

"Hmph. You can't get away."

Yan Hai snorted coldly and raised his War Blade. His figure turned into a streak of lightning as he charged straight at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe watched Yan Hai expressionlessly. Black-red veins pulsed across his right arm, transforming it into a blade.

"Good!"

Yan Hai's cloudy old eyes locked onto Su Zhe. His greed was practically tangible. Having seen Su Zhe's extraordinary abilities with his own eyes, he could no longer hold back. He immediately picked up speed, eager to finish Su Zhe off!

After all, he was a second-rank Planetary Level fighter. He was confident he could deal with Su Zhe.

"Such incredible power... it should belong to this old man!"

Yan Hai charged forward.

Yan Hai and Su Zhe passed each other!

Yan Hai... fell.

Su Zhe's eyes were utterly calm, with even a trace of mockery in them.

After reaching the Planetary Level, Su Zhe's strength, defense, and speed far surpassed those of monsters at the same level, let alone human fighters. With Super Muscle and the Force Amplitude technique, his Force Amplitude had now reached more than four times its normal level!

Four times might not sound like much.

But with Su Zhe's own strength and the boost from the Void Devouring Flame, dealing with a second-rank Planetary Level fighter was easy.

Yan Hai died an aggrieved death.

Until the moment he died, he'd thought Su Zhe was just a lowly War God—an Invincible War God at most. He had never imagined that Su Zhe would be the one to kill him.

"Complete insights into the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, and the Conception of Thunder, too? Can those be devoured as well?"

Su Zhe quickly devoured and absorbed Yan Hai, then sorted through what he'd gained.
