Chapter 175

Chen Luo returned to the base, his heart filled with excitement.

The first person he encountered was Ning Shuang, who looked at him warily, tear tracks on her face.

Ning Shuang stammered, "Don't tickle me. I was just tickled at noon. My sister did it herself."

Tch, as if anyone wanted to tickle you.

Walking to Mi Fan's door, Chen Luo immediately put on a kind smile.

My Mi Fan is truly amazing. In the future, if there are any opportunities, I'll just have Mi Fan tell me, and I'll keep an eye on them.

He pushed open the door to find Mi Fan playing games, using a gamepad and the TV as a screen.

Fa Xue was sitting in Mi Fan's lap, watching him play, cheering him on from time to time.

Mi Fan glanced at Chen Luo and said, "You're back," before focusing on the game again.

Fa Xue, on the other hand, pounced on him, her face brimming with a cute smile, opening her arms, "Gan-die, hug!"

Such a young age and already a simp, limitless potential.

After playing with Mi Fan for a while, Mi Fan asked, "What opportunity?"

Chen Luo took out the cleaned crystal and said, "This is it, a Sovereign-level crystal."

Mi Fan nodded, unconcerned.

Chen Luo suddenly wondered, what would happen if he let Mi Fan absorb it?

Would Mi Fan gain some magical ability upon reaching the Sovereign level?

Chen Luo mentioned it, but Mi Fan wasn't interested at all. "No need. Crystals don't seem to work for me anymore. I feel like I can advance without them, it just takes a little time."

Advancing without crystals, wasn't that the same as zombies?

Back in his room, Chen Luo began to absorb the crystal.

Sovereign-level, ah, his first time absorbing one.

This was a melee-type crystal, not the best for Chen Luo. He didn't know the extent to which absorbing this crystal would improve him.

Twelve minutes later, Chen Luo exhaled deeply, his body saturated, unable to absorb any more.

Feeling the crystal's power, he'd only absorbed a little over one-twentieth of it.

It would take him more than half a month to absorb this entire crystal.

Switching to another King-level crystal, it would probably take him two months.

Having been a Sovereign in his past life, Chen Luo had experience. He most likely couldn't directly reach the Sovereign level, but he just needed to work harder.

Weren't there still corpses?

Mi Ling and Mi Li returned, Mi Ling plopping down on the sofa, dejectedly.

"Jiang Chuxue reached the King level. How is she so strong? Even Hai Ji-jie couldn's put up a fight in front of her."

Last night, when Chen Luo wasn't back, Jiang Chuxue had reached the King level.

Once she reached the King level, everyone naturally wanted to spar with her.

Mi Li was out of the question, so Mi Ling took the lead in sparring with Jiang Chuxue.

Jiang Chuxue didn't know anything, only her Time Stop skill. Without Time Stop, Jiang Chuxue had no chance.

But once she used Time Stop, no one else had a chance.

Having reached the King level, Jiang Chuxue could stop King-level opponents for about fifteen seconds, and could use it nearly twenty times in a row.

That added up to five minutes.

In those five minutes, forget attacking, you couldn't even gather your abilities or use an energy shield.

Jiang Chuxue's attack was a bit lacking, but if someone stood still for five minutes, letting you hit them, could you still not kill them?

Someone with strong defense like Su Dazhu might be different, but elemental types like Mi Ling would be controlled to death.

Even Hai Ji, a mid-stage King-level, the Dark Executioner, wasn't much different from Mi Ling in front of Jiang Chuxue.

The only difference was that Jiang Chuxue's control time was slightly shorter.

Mi Li sighed, "Time-based abilities are truly invincible at the same level. No matter how many abilities you have, it's useless."

Hearing their conversation, Chen Luo came out of his room.

Mi Ling gave Chen Luo a helpless look, as if saying, "I'm useless."

Chen Luo comforted her, "If I didn't have space-based abilities, I couldn't beat Jiang Chuxue either."

This was true. If he encountered Jiang Chuxue and didn't use Void Walk to run away immediately, Chen Luo would only be abused.

In his past life, after Mi Ling's base had Jiang Chuxue, Chen Luo never dared to get close, only daring to observe from afar.

Space reigns supreme, time is ultimate.

But Jiang Chuxue wasn't without weaknesses.

That was, she was afraid of being ganged up on. One King-level could be controlled to death, but what about five King-levels?

If time-based abilities were truly invincible, Jiang Chuxue wouldn't have died in his past life.

Chen Luo remembered that in his past life, after monsters killed King-level ability users, he stole a lot of their things.

Normally, the monsters were just angry. But when he stole Jiang Chuxue's corpse, the monster went berserk, chasing him for a very, very long time.

Had it had enough of him and couldn't help but start chasing him?

Or was the time-based crystal very valuable?

The monster was stunned when Jiang Chuxue used Time Stop.

But was the time-based crystal very valuable? If you didn't have the time talent, you couldn't awaken even if you used a time-based crystal.

As for the amount of energy in the crystal, it was exactly the same as ordinary King-level crystals, nothing different.

Fa Wang didn't know where he'd gone off to fool around. If he sparred with Jiang Chuxue, he would probably lose too.

Chen Luo found Jiang Chuxue, who looked at Chen Luo with great delight.

Jiang Chuxue was still very proud, after all, even a strong expert like Hai Ji was helpless in her hands.

Chen Luo poured cold water on her, "You're still too weak. Hai Ji-jie can beat three ordinary King-levels. If there are more enemies, can you beat three King-levels?"

Chen Luo then said euphemistically, "See if you can comprehend other time-based abilities, or reduce the consumption of your time ability, preferably by ten or eight times."

Jiang Chuxue was stunned. Ten or eight times? Are you even talking like a human?

Are you doing division?

It was possible to do that, because Chen Luo had already reduced the consumption of Void Walk by more than a hundred times.

Chen Luo was working hard to advance towards a thousand times.

Struck by Chen Luo's words, Jiang Chuxue lowered her head and said, "I will work hard."

Chen Luo thought to himself, if she comprehended other time abilities, she could let me learn from them.

Steel Claw, if Jiang Chuxue was equipped with it, Jiang Chuxue's attack could also increase explosively, but Chen Luo originally wanted to give this Steel Claw to Su Dazhu, whose defense was very strong, but whose attack was too weak.

He would see, consider who to give it to. Jiang Chuxue being a powerful support was also not bad.

Eh, time-based abilities are currently only support, without any direct damage attributes.

Are there offensive time-based abilities?

Time-based abilities shouldn't only be destined to be support, right?

They have no prestige at all.

Or her ability was too low, her position was too low. If her level was high, if she stood high, she could probably comprehend better.

After instructing Jiang Chuxue, Chen Luo went straight to the giant tree.

Under the giant tree, there were a large number of corpses, basically all Level 7 zombie corpses.

The giant tree would occasionally grab some to absorb.

Seeing Chen Luo, the giant tree greeted him, "You're here. It's about to bear fruit. According to the agreement, this fruit is for you."

Chen Luo nodded and took out the Steel Claw's corpse.

"Devour this first."

High-level corpses not only produce better fruit, but are also faster, so of course it should prioritize devouring Steel Claw.

The giant tree had already sensed that this corpse was extraordinary, and had just wrapped it in a bud when it said in shock.

"Where did you get such a strong corpse?"
