Chapter 1169: See you downstairs
Wen Huan was envious when he faced Wen Huan.
When the apocalypse descended, and he saw Mo Ye, he thought that at a certain time, they might be able to break the chains that the wheel set on them, as Wen Huan did to grasp stronger power.
Mo Ye and Xie Lei’s skills in country techniques were his hope. He had seen some grandmasters turning into strong evolved, making him think it was a viable path. He tried his best to learn so that he could reach that level.
He worked hard and used some country techniques in battle. He relied on his speed and strength along with what he learned from Xia Lei and Mo Ye. He rarely had any opponents on the battlefield.
However, an undeniable fact was that the skills that Xia Lei and Mo Ye grasped were too ordinary. Or rather, they weren’t the direct heirs. So even if Ye Zhongming used his Superman-like body to learn them, he couldn’t reach the level he hoped.
He went to the secret realm and learned some battle techniques, giving him another hope.
When he first headed out of the Secret Realm and used battle techniques to kill people in Peace Town, he thought he had entered the right path.
Battle techniques and secret techniques gave him strength far above the same level. When his Scorching Flame Technique and Soul Refining Technique reached the peak, he could roughly feel that peak where he could exceed himself.
The current him could fight against lifeforms a level higher than himself, and he was likely to win.
But he was still unsure if he could break through like Wen Huan did when his life was threatened.Was it rage? Sadness? Did emotions help to break those chains?
Ye Zhongming looked at Wen Huan, and many thoughts rose.
He knew that he might never be able to find the answer, but that was possible.
Wen Huan was strong. He could be ranked in the top three out of the evolved that Ye Zhongming had seen.
Unfortunately, he had the Plant Master bloodline.
This bloodline was strong because you could split the bloodline power into the beings you summoned so that they would have strong combat strength.
This distribution wasn’t one-sided but two-sided. When the mutated plants killed a target or even walked on soil, they could absorb energy and return it to the evolved.
So, the Plant Master bloodline was really strong. If conditions allowed it, they could fight for a long time.
There weren’t many bloodlines with such an ability.
But this wasn’t Earth, and it wasn’t an ordinary survival space. It was a special space. Things here might be illusionary or man-made and couldn’t be compared to the Earth outside.
Wen Huan told his sister that it was okay, but he couldn’t absorb much energy from the soil here.
The only thing that could replenish some energy were those monsters.
Wen Huan broke through and pushed his bloodline to another level. But the problem was that his body was really weak. He sowed more seeds and did his third summoning. The lifeforms now were stronger than the first two times. In that instance, he was the strongest in City of Color.
But he didn’t evolve and was really weak. Those stronger mutated lifeforms naturally needed more energy. Each of them absorbed a bit of bloodline power, but the overall amount was huge as there were many of them.
Wen Huan could not hold on, and his bloodline power was fully absorbed. At the same time, his life force was sucked too.
The entire battlefield was silent. The nearly dead train station monster opened its eyes and looked at the humans.
“Ah, still lost.” Wen Huan’s voice was different. It was disgusting, but you could understand him.
“Don’t be too happy. This won’t happen outside, and you would have lost.”
His eyes couldn’t see anything. He could only rely on his memory to speak towards where he remembered Ye Zhongming was.
Ye Zhongming kept silent momentarily and looked at the body that Wen Huan was terrified of, “Things might not be like this outside and maybe you would be able to get enough nutrients.”
He continued, “But I won’t lose. The plants you are proud of will only deal 50% damage to me. I can both clear these mutated lifeforms slowly or tank the damage and kill you.”
“So, sorry. You are strong. Your level exceeding activation shocked me, but… You are still not my match.”
Wen Huan didn’t reply. His body shook, and he was powerless. Lifeforce was draining.
“Reduce by half? What does that mean?”
Ye Zhongming hesitated and replied, “Nature Soul.”
Wen Huan had a self-mocking smile.
“That… You might be able to win, but who knows if we hadn’t fought? So Ye Zhongming, don’t be so confident.”
Wen Huan’s body started to collapse. His organs melted like ice cream from the freezer.
This leader who created No Man’s Zone was about to leave the world.
“Your victory isn’t glorious, so I don’t accept it.”
Wen Huan used all his strength to complain.
Ye Zhongming walked slowly, “Who is glorious in the apocalypse? You?”
Wen Huan didn’t reply.
Was he glorious? Of course not! How did he get the Plant Master bloodline crystal? He knew how more clearly than anyone else.
A cracking sound could be heard. His body was left with some parts that were connected to his head. You could see large amounts of bones. He was like a tattered cloth that stood stubbornly.
But there was a moment when he couldn’t hold on. At the last moment of his life, he said his final words.
“I will wait for you downstairs.”
