High-level God of War!

Before long, Xiao Yang's relentless attacks with the Harpoon had left Baili Huanxiang's trunk riddled with holes.

He could clearly feel its branches lashing out more slowly.

Some of its roots had stopped moving altogether.

Xiao Yang sent his Psychic Power probing beneath the trunk.

The soil blocked it, preventing him from reaching too deep.

But he sensed a spot underground completely enclosed by Baili Huanxiang's trunk.

He could not tell what was inside.

Still, he guessed Baili Huanxiang's Illusion Core was there.

He did not dig it out immediately.

Xiao Yang was patient.

Baili Huanxiang was not going anywhere.

His Harpoon kept slicing back and forth across its trunk.

As time passed, the trunk finally gave way.

The hundred-meter-tall tree began to topple.

Boom!

Only after the giant tree fell did Xiao Yang fly toward where its trunk had stood.

By then, Baili Huanxiang's branches could no longer move.

Its roots were moving unusually slowly too.

Xiao Yang reached the trunk with ease.

He placed a hand on it and willed it away.

The next instant, Baili Huanxiang's trunk vanished.

He had taken it straight into the Game World.

Then Xiao Yang took out the iron shovel he kept there and began digging.

The Farm Game's shovel worked remarkably well.

Whether it struck soil or roots, each scoop met no resistance at all.

Xiao Yang had to be careful not to hit and damage the Illusion Core.

He would hate to see the energy liquid inside spill out.

Soon, he cleared away the surrounding soil and found a round space enclosed by roots.

It lay directly beneath where Baili Huanxiang's trunk had stood.

Xiao Yang stopped using the shovel.

Instead, he used the SS-Grade Flying Dagger he had bought to cut away the roots bit by bit.

It was more troublesome, but it reduced the risk of accidentally cutting into the Illusion Core.

At last, a jade-green crystal emerged from among the roots.

Xiao Yang carefully took it out.

The crystal was about the size of a fist.

He could sense a great deal of energy inside it.

This was Baili Huanxiang's Illusion Core.

After putting it away, Xiao Yang flew off into the distance.

All the powerful monsters here were dead now, and he worried someone might come to investigate.

If they saw Baili Huanxiang's remains, they might well attack him.

The Spirit of Plants and Trees was far too valuable!

Xiao Yang had no desire to test human nature. It never held up well.

After flying at full speed for over half an hour, Xiao Yang spotted a small county town near City 092.

He picked a small building without any monsters and went inside.

Then he entered the Game World.

Xiao Yang went straight to the warehouse.

The warehouse in the game was extraordinary.

No matter how much he put inside, it never filled up.

He had no idea how large it really was.

From outside, it looked like nothing more than a tiny warehouse.

With a thought, Xiao Yang summoned the jade-green Illusion Core before him.

He had no attention to spare for the monster materials or Baili Huanxiang's flowers and fruit.

All he wanted was to drink the energy liquid inside the Illusion Core as soon as possible.

Since he was a Psychic, he did not have to fear the liquid's hallucinogenic effects.

Nor did he need a martial arts school to process it for him.

On the way here, Xiao Yang had eaten several pieces of Watermelon and gotten himself into peak condition.

Without hesitation, he used a freshly cleaned flying dagger to cut a small opening in the Illusion Core.

A delicate fragrance immediately reached him.

The instant he smelled it, Xiao Yang felt his mind sharpen.

He poured the energy liquid straight into his mouth.

As soon as it entered his body, it turned into pure Genetic Origin Energy and spread through his limbs and bones.

Xiao Yang could clearly feel it nourishing his body.

Meanwhile, an even greater surge of energy rushed into his sea of consciousness.

The moment it entered, that energy became his Psychic Power.

At once, Xiao Yang felt his mind grow much clearer.

He kept practicing the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, absorbing the energy within him.

Every cell in his body seemed desperately thirsty, drinking in the energy like parched earth welcoming rain.

After an unknown stretch of time, Xiao Yang finally absorbed nearly all the energy.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He could feel that his strength had increased enormously!

He went straight back to the house beside the Farm.

He had previously bought an extra testing machine and left it in the Game World.

A testing machine did not cost him much anyway.

He switched it on, took a deep breath, twisted at the waist, and drove a fist into the target.

Bang!

65,889 kg

A flicker of delight crossed Xiao Yang's eyes as he read the number.

He threw several more punches.

Bang!

65,905 kg

Bang!

65,899 kg

Bang!

65,912 kg

His physical strength had increased by forty thousand kilograms!

And that was not all!

Xiao Yang felt that most of the energy from the Illusion Core's liquid had actually become his Psychic Power.

He picked up a flying dagger and willed it forward.

Whoosh!

Ding!

267,800 kg

Xiao Yang stared at the number, wild joy flashing in his eyes.

Then he suddenly noticed something else.

With a thought, several flying daggers rose into the air and began flying at high speed.

He could control five flying daggers at full power!

His Psychic Power Amplitude had reached five!

The discovery thrilled Xiao Yang even more.

He had gained so much this time!

His physical strength had reached the God of War level.

His Psychic Power had even reached the threshold of a High-level God of War!

Even with Level-1 Rice and Level-1 Blueberry, this had saved Xiao Yang an enormous amount of time!

Feeling the tremendous power within him, Xiao Yang nodded in satisfaction.

He figured that once he returned, he could prepare for a trip to Australia to search for Mist Island.

He turned off the testing machine, went to the warehouse, and began taking out the corpses of Beast Warlords and Lord-level Monsters.

He had been in a hurry when he stored them, so he had not collected their materials.

Now that he had time, he could take care of it.

Processing the hundreds of Beast Warlord and Lord-level Monster corpses took Xiao Yang several hours.

Once he finished, he packed some of the materials into two enormous backpacks, then flew toward the military camp outside Central Plains Base City.

Compared with his journey here, Xiao Yang was much faster.

In just a few hours, he reached the vicinity of the camp.
