War God Training Camp:
"Luo Feng, Luo Feng, look! Another Beyond War God-level powerhouse has emerged in China!"
"He only became a fighter three months ago, and now he's already reached Beyond War God-level strength. That's downright terrifying!"
"I heard he's a member of the Extreme Martial Hall too, but he refused to join the War God Training Camp. A lot of people thought he was arrogant back then, but it turns out he had every right to be!"
After getting the news about Li Xin, Luo Feng's senior sister Zhao Ruo happened to spot him and pulled him over to share the news that had shaken her entire worldview.
She was, after all, an Advanced Warrior hailed as a girl genius, but that title of "genius" was utterly crushed in the face of Li Xin!
"His talent is ridiculous, and he's a Psychic too. He killed the King-level monster Tyrannosaurus Beast right at his debut, and the speed at which he slaughtered the beast tide was terrifying."
"Compared to him, I'm far behind!"
After reading the information Zhao Ruo had gathered about Li Xin, Luo Feng felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him, just when he had begun to feel a little smug about his own talent.
It also made him understand that there would always be someone better, always greater heights beyond his own. He couldn't grow arrogant. There were always extraordinary people in this world stronger than him, and he had to remain humble and respectful.
"Yes, his talent is simply the most incredible I've ever seen. Maybe he never thought much of the War God Training Camp in the first place, and that's why he refused to come here."
Zhao Ruo sighed.
"Don't belittle yourself just because of one or two freakish geniuses. You still have to walk your own path, one step at a time!"
With that, Luo Feng prepared to head to the Gravity Room to train!
Extreme Martial Hall Headquarters:
"Chairman, this is all the information on Li Xin."
Yao Rao, one of the three personal guards of Hong, the strongest man on Earth, had lustrous black hair and mesmerizing eyes. A Demon Whip crackling with lightning was coiled around her waist.
The moment she received news of Li Xin, she swiftly began gathering everything related to him. She even dug up information about his childhood, organized it all, and handed it to Hong.
"He reached Planetary Level in just a few months and even killed the King-level monster Tyrannosaurus Beast. Even I didn't improve that quickly back then."
After reading the information Yao Rao handed him, even Hong, the strongest man on Earth, couldn't help marveling.
"Chairman, he probably obtained some treasure from ancient ruins or something similar. That's why his strength increased so quickly. If you could obtain it..."
Li Xin's astonishing rate of growth had left even Yao Rao, a Planetary Level powerhouse herself, envious.
After all, who wouldn't want to grow that quickly?
Li Xin had probably refused to come to the Extreme Martial Hall Headquarters because he feared his secret would be discovered.
"Don't bring this up again. I would never steal a junior's opportunity."
"He's a member of the Extreme Martial Hall, so he's naturally on our side. Go meet him on my behalf and invite him to join the War God Palace as a chairman."
"And reward him with a Black God Set. If possible, tell him I'd like to invite him to the Extreme Martial Hall Headquarters, though I suspect he won't want to come."
Hong spoke after a moment's thought.
"Yes!"
Yao Rao was puzzled by the chairman's decision, but she asked no further questions and immediately set off for Kyoto Base City.
"I hope you can grow stronger soon. Earth is too small a pond, with too few powerful people. Before the Cosmic Starry Sky, we're nothing more than ants, powerless to shake the heavens!"
After Yao Rao left, Hong's gaze grew profound. He knew far more than most people did.
It was precisely because he understood how insignificant they were that he yearned for more powerful people to emerge on Earth. Even if they surpassed him, he could accept that.
At that moment, Li Xin wasn't thinking about anything else. All his attention was focused on the corpses of the countless monsters he had slaughtered.
As the many fighters at the Supply Base cleared away and transported the bodies, they gathered them all together, piling them into a genuine mountain of corpses.
"Everyone, leave this area immediately! No one is allowed to approach!"
At Li Xin's command, all the fighters withdrew. He then had the Eternal Divine Brain begin absorbing the corpses, converting them into reserve energy for the Eternal Divine Furnace.
Li Xin spent the entire night absorbing energy from the monster corpses in more than a dozen base cities. Only the following morning did he finally finish.
[Eternal Divine Brain energy reserve meets upgrade requirements]
After absorbing the energy of so many monster corpses, including the entire body of the King-level monster, the Eternal Divine Brain finally had enough energy to upgrade.
"Mr. Li Xin, thank you for stepping in and resolving this beast tide for Kyoto Base City!"
"On behalf of the China Military Region, I offer you our thanks!"
Seeing that Li Xin finally had some free time, Jia Yi approached him for a chat.
"You're too kind, Commander Jia. This beast tide was triggered by my killing the Tyrannosaurus Beast in the first place. Naturally, I had a responsibility to deal with it."
"Ultimately, it was because of me that so many fighters lost their lives in this beast tide."
Although Li Xin had slaughtered the beast tide extremely quickly and provided timely support, it had affected too vast an area. Quite a few fighters had still died fighting it.
"They died honorably protecting the base cities. They were all heroes. China will compensate their families and ensure they are taken care of."
"People will always die in war. What we need to do is minimize casualties among our fighters and make every preparation to care for their families, so they have nothing to worry about."
"Would you be willing to join the China Military Region and fight for China, Mr. Li Xin?"
Jia Yi spoke earnestly.
"Commander Jia, I'm Chinese. If China is in danger, I'll naturally fight for it."
"As for joining the China Military Region, I'll have to decline. I'm used to freedom. I dislike restrictions, and I have even less interest in commanding an army or a squad. Those things would only burden me. I trust only my own strength!"
Li Xin naturally knew that Jia Yi, who had spent his entire life fighting for China, wanted to secure his full support for the country. But just as he had when various factions tried to recruit him before, Li Xin chose freedom.
Of course, as a Chinese man, he would do his part whenever China was in danger. That conviction was etched into the bones of China's sons and daughters.
"It's a pity, but it's also reassuring!"
Jia Yi sighed.
"Commander Jia, although I won't formally join the China Military Region, we'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Here's my contact information. I may have to trouble you for help someday."
Li Xin handed over his contact information as he spoke.
"If you need anything in China, just come to me."
Seeing Li Xin's goodwill, Jia Yi felt better too.
After saying goodbye to Jia Yi, Li Xin immediately hurried back to Kyoto Base City. He also left a message for his family, telling them not to contact him, and especially not to reveal his location to anyone else.
"Upgrade!"
After returning as quickly as possible to the factory he had rented on the outskirts of Tianjin City, Kyoto Base City, Li Xin brought himself into peak condition before choosing to upgrade the Eternal Divine Brain!
The next moment, the Eternal Divine Brain's core flew out of the robot, and a golden ray shone onto the nearby Supercomputer.
Then Li Xin saw a phantom image form over the entire Supercomputer. After separating from it, the phantom looked like a perfect, full-scale copy of the Supercomputer.
Everything the Supercomputer possessed was present in the phantom. He even felt that the phantom could perform calculations just like a normal supercomputer!
Before Li Xin could react, the Supercomputer's phantom kept shrinking until the Eternal Divine Brain swallowed it. Meanwhile, the Eternal Divine Brain's core began expanding from its original fist size until it was as large as an adult's head.
And that wasn't all. As the Eternal Divine Brain grew, Li Xin could clearly sense its computational power steadily increasing. Along with it, his own mind became sharper too.
