After devouring Yan Hai, Su Zhe gained two Devour Points and acquired Yan Hai's mastery of the complete Nine-Layered Thunder Blade. This further increased Su Zhe's Force Amplitude. Combined with his own insights, his Force Amplitude had now reached about eightfold.

But the most important thing was Yan Hai's Conception of Thunder.

The combination of the Blacklight Virus and the Void Devouring Flame allowed Su Zhe to directly steal even such mysterious things as conceptions!

It felt a little unreasonable, yet also made perfect sense.

If he gained all of someone's memories and talents, wasn't it only natural that he'd gain their insights as well?

In any case, looking at the Conception of Fire and Conception of Thunder in the laws section of his status panel, Su Zhe felt pretty satisfied.

"Devouring humans really does lead to faster improvement."

Su Zhe murmured as he felt the surging power within him.

Though the monsters on Earth were no less intelligent than humans once they reached Planetary Level, they didn't know any secret techniques. They relied entirely on instinct in battle, and had no such things as conceptions or domains.

Compared with devouring monsters, which mainly strengthened Su Zhe's body, devouring humans brought greater gains in secret techniques and insights.

Su Zhe seemed to have realized something.

"So the second most talented person on Earth in the original story, the Psychic... was called Sago Nehru?"

Su Zhe found the name in Yan Hai's memories.

Like Yan Hai, Sago Nehru was one of the three leaders who appeared after the Devourer Beast incident, when Luo Feng disappeared. After Luo Feng vanished, he was also the only Planetary Level Psychic on Earth.

Although Sago Nehru had most likely yet to break through and was probably only a High-Level War God Psychic, devouring him would definitely raise Su Zhe's Psychic Power potential to Planetary Level.

Once that happened, he'd be all but certain to break through to Planetary Level after devouring a few more monsters.

Before World Lord Level, Psychics did indeed have many advantages over warriors. The greatest of these was their ability to attack from a distance.

As long as a warrior couldn't get close, it was hard for a Psychic to lose.

Even if Su Zhe didn't think it was important, he still followed the principle that it was better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it.

To avoid any complications, Su Zhe simply set off for India to find Sago Nehru and kill him before anything could go wrong!

Beneath the Pacific Ocean.

"How can there be a being like this on Earth?!"

Babata exclaimed in disbelief.

It had been less than ten days since Luo Feng had taken possession of the Golden Horned Beast.

Luo Feng hadn't even fully accepted the Golden Horned Beast's inherited memories, and yet a being whose rate of evolution rivaled the beast's had appeared on Earth?

How was that possible!

Starry Sky Behemoths were already extremely rare in the universe, to say nothing of Special Lifeforms, which were rarer still!

But Babata, who monitored the entire planet, had no choice but to believe what he was seeing.

An ordinary Earthling had advanced an entire major level in just a few days?

That was obviously impossible.

Having spent so many years on Earth, Babata knew all too well how poor Earthlings' natural gifts were.

And Su Zhe's devouring had been completely out in the open.

Babata had seen it clearly. That power of Su Zhe's was something no ordinary human could possess. He was definitely a Special Lifeform!

As for Special Lifeforms—

Even though Babata considered himself well-informed and had access to the vast knowledge of Black Ink Star, he still understood little about them.

Special Lifeforms came in so many varieties that even major powers like the Virtual Universe Company couldn't possibly recognize every one of them.

"This is strange. How could both a Golden Horned Beast and this... Special Lifeform appear on Earth? Black Ink Star has no record at all of his genetic structure!"

Staring at the image before him, Babata was deeply puzzled.

The scene showed Su Zhe fighting Yan Hai and killing him in an instant.

"Never mind. Luo Feng still hasn't woken up."

In the end, Babata couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he quietly marked Su Zhe as a high-priority subject for observation.

After all, Su Zhe was an Earthling. It was better to leave the decision to Luo Feng.

In a Base City in India.

Su Zhe arrived and found Sago Nehru at the location he remembered.

As a gifted Psychic, Nehru hadn't shown talent on par with Luo Feng, but he had still received the Thunder Martial Arts Hall's finest training. He currently served as an Inspector there.

Once a Psychic reached High-Level War God, he was considered an Invincible War God on Earth.

But no matter how invincible he was, he was still only at Apprentice Level.

After finding Nehru, Su Zhe killed him without much effort.

After devouring Nehru, Su Zhe's Psychic Power finally reached the ninth rank of Apprentice Level. Having inherited Nehru's skill in wielding Psychic Power, Su Zhe could now use it as one of his means of attack.

With Nehru taken care of, the next target was obvious.

Atkin.

Once the Fifth Speaker, he was now the strongest person on Earth.

As one of the three leaders who had emerged after Luo Feng went missing, Atkin had yet to make a move to take control of Earth. Luo Feng's fate was still uncertain, after all. But Su Zhe had already killed two of the three leaders, so there was no reason to spare the last one.

As Su Zhe considered this, he prepared to leave.

"Who are you—"

One of Nehru's subordinates hurried to his door, apparently carrying important information to report. He ran straight into Su Zhe and was slapped to death.

Su Zhe didn't consider himself a good person. He wouldn't go out of his way to wipe everyone out, but he wasn't about to spare someone when it was no trouble to kill him.

Besides, Su Zhe really had no fondness for this country.

"I wonder who'll take their place now that these powerful figures are dead."

Su Zhe pondered. He didn't want to play the fool and spring a surprise on people, but neither did he want to put himself out there and take control of some faction.

Unless—

"The Blacklight Virus!"

Su Zhe's eyes lit up.

Now that he had reached Planetary Level, a Miniature Planet had formed within him, just like it did in other Planetary Level warriors.

This had greatly increased his control over the Blacklight Virus.

If he tried creating a Blacklight Virus Infected again, his chances of success would be much higher!

"Damn, I should've left you alive."

Looking at the spot where Nehru had died, Su Zhe felt a little regretful.

As the second-best Psychic on Earth, Nehru was undoubtedly talented. He would have made an ideal test subject.

Now, it seemed that role would have to go to Atkin.

Would Atkin be able to withstand it?

Su Zhe sped up and headed for Atkin's location.
