"Haha..."
Han Lang pointed at Dr. Sim and burst into laughter.
"You call us frogs in a well, but it turns out you're the real frog in a well."
"I thought you knew so much about our Xia country's cultivator world. Turns out, it's nothing special."
"Yes! That's right. For us cultivators, this is indeed an era of Dharma decline."
"But do you know that within our Xia country, there are also six massive spiritual veins!"
"These spiritual veins, coupled with the inheritance of our Xia country's cultivators for thousands of years, will eventually give birth to a powerhouse that you cannot reach!"
"And such a powerhouse is a height that you ability users can never achieve, no matter how much you research!"
"You think it's a big deal that you've quickly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Soul Transformation stage?"
"Not to mention anything else! In front of these ancient divine artifacts, the Red Flags, in my Xia country, they're not even worth a fart!"
"You want to destroy my Xia country? You can only fool those low-level cultivators who have never seen the world!"
"The higher-level ones simply look down on your ability user modifications."
"Because once they participate in the modification, their lives are completely set. From then on, there's no possibility of further progress!"
"In this regard, who is short-sighted, us or you?"
Dr. Sim's brow furrowed at Han Lang's words.
Indeed.
Even though he now mastered the technology to achieve Xia country people's cultivation physique by injecting Xia country people's blood serum;
Even though he now understood the methods for Xia country cultivators to modify ability users or for ordinary ability users to increase their strength.
But these issues were also affected by cultivation talent.
Just like Gou Tui Zhi.
Although he could advance his strength by leaps and bounds through cultivation techniques.
But his limit was just that.
Even though he had now reached the strength of an XS-class ability user, it was extremely difficult to advance further.
Therefore, from the perspective of this room, ability users could never compare to cultivators who could continuously improve.
And the most crucial point.
Dr. Sim also didn't know that the limit for ability user forces reaching the Soul Transformation stage was the absolute limit.
Because cultivators, starting from the Integration stage, began to be able to faintly sense the Heavenly Dao.
And this was something that ability users could never reach, no matter how they were modified.
Because they had no comprehension from the cultivation process, nor did they have such a foundation.
Of course, Dr. Sim had no way of knowing this.
Because there were not enough experimental subjects for him to conduct such research.
"Han Lang, stop spewing nonsense. Regardless, your Special Task Force should not have any cultivators capable of resisting Soul Transformation stage strength, right? And your team definitely doesn't. Instead of wasting time arguing with me, you'd better think about how to save your lives now!"
After speaking, Dr. Sim, taking advantage of Han Lang and the others' lack of preparedness, suddenly attacked Tang Qin, who was closest to him.
Han Lang and the others were shocked.
In their attempt to extract more useful information from Dr. Sim's mouth, they had inadvertently given Dr. Sim an opportunity.
And with Dr. Sim's current strength, if the unprepared Tang Qin was hit by him, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Even if he didn't die, he would likely be seriously injured.
But now, they had no ability to rescue.
Because Dr. Sim's speed was too fast.
And the distance was too close.
Just as everyone was worrying about Tang Qin, Tang Qin himself was also scared out of his wits.
He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to prepare to escape.
But before his spiritual energy could be fully infused, Dr. Sim had already reached him.
At this critical moment, there was a sudden "boom" sound.
The timed bomb set by Ma Long finally exploded.
Such a narrow space made the power of the explosion aftermath even greater.
Although it wouldn't kill everyone, the energy wave caused Dr. Sim, who was originally surging with momentum, to pause for half a second.
It was precisely because of this half-second that Tang Qin found an opportunity to escape.
With a flicker of spiritual energy at his toes, he instantly used the Shadow Step and escaped Dr. Sim's clutches in an instant.
"Damn! That was close!"
Tang Qin, still trembling with lingering fear, patted his proud chest and said worriedly.
At the same time, the explosion completely overturned the entire base.
Shan Nan, with quick eyes, immediately reminded, "Fly out from above, don't confront him head-on!"
Without any hesitation, the group immediately rushed upwards against the flames, flying out of the base.
Seeing this, Dr. Sim did not hesitate and followed closely.
Just as his hand was about to grab Liu Xiaoxiao's ankle, the last person, Liu Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and struck down with a palm containing immense energy.
Dr. Sim did not evade but met the attack.
He also struck out with a palm.
With a "bang" sound, Liu Xiaoxiao's delicate body was instantly sent flying.
It was only when Han Lang and Shan Nan supported her that she stabilized her footing.
"Are you alright?" Shan Nan asked worriedly.
"I'm fine! But his strength is indeed too great. We must join forces!"
As soon as Liu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Han Lang and Shan Nan exchanged glances and nodded.
Then the three quickly separated, forming a triangle to surround Dr. Sim.
At the same time, Shan Nan did not forget to order the others.
"Dr. Sim's strength is too great. We must unite and work together to defeat him. Xiao Xiao and Han Lang will be the main attackers, while Tang Geng, Tang Qin, Zhao Wu, and Ma Long, you will assist from the sidelines, looking for opportunities to wear down Dr. Sim!"
Upon hearing the order, Tang Geng and the other four quickly formed a square formation outside the triangle formation of Han Lang and the other two.
The purpose was to cover any gaps in the attacks of Han Lang and the other two, and to completely trap Dr. Sim.
Seeing this, Dr. Sim was not surprised at all.
Instead, he chuckled.
"Just you guys? I'd like to see how long you can keep me trapped!"
After speaking, he dashed forward and charged at Han Lang.
Han Lang was not surprised.
He calmly controlled the nine golden needles and entangled them.
His body also immediately retreated.
Previously, he had exchanged a palm strike with Dr. Sim to test his strength.
Now that the battle had begun, he naturally had to leverage the advantage of his golden needles to wear him down from a distance.
Dr. Sim, harassed by the nine golden needles, naturally slowed down.
Liu Xiaoxiao and Shan Nan seized the opportunity and attacked Dr. Sim's back with palms from both sides.
Dr. Sim sensed the killing intent from behind him and turned around, enduring the golden needles.
Opening his hands, he struck out with his left and right palms, sending Shan Nan and the other two flying.
Tang Qin and Tang Geng from behind quickly stepped forward to support the two.
Han Lang did not stand idle either. He did not give Dr. Sim any chance to pursue Shan Nan and Liu Xiaoxiao, and immediately attacked again.
Dr. Sim was furious. He clenched his fist and shook it forcefully, knocking away all the golden needles.
Then, he seized the opportunity and directly attacked the weakened Han Lang.
