Chapter 299 The Competitive Fireball

After that…

It exploded.

It exploded, releasing thousands of blood-red pieces of flesh and foam in all directions.

Then, he was dragged back by an unknown force and merged with the wind, frost, rain, and snow as he rushed toward the advanced Oath Scepter.

!!
Such a spectacular scene left Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo speechless.

They had never seen anything like it, not even when battling the hundred-meter-tall giant Qin Dongbei.

The splendor of heaven and earth appeared to be crushed by an even larger, invisible god.

The scepter in Wang Wen’s hand was then used to knead it back into a ball.

“Do you think Captain’s strength is no different than a god’s?” Ren Ruoruo asked, leaning close to Zhu Xingguo’s ear.

Zhu Xingguo shook his head.

“How can immortals be stronger than my master?” he said matter-of-factly, looking Ren Ruoruo in the eyes.

Ren Ruoruo remained silent for a long time, unable to think of anything to say.

She could not stop herself from giving him a thumbs up.

A sound came from outside.

The two of them looked at Wang Wen in fear.

With the current situation, any random movement would be enough to destroy the world.

They assumed it was another apocalyptic event.

Who would have guessed that Wang Wen would casually say, “The number of times the Unity of Man and Nature can be used has increased by one. Not bad.”

Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo were dumbfounded.

Ren Ruoruo looked at the half-dark world and said, “The whole world is gone, and this skill only received one additional use? Then we will be done for!”

Wang Wen looked at the time.

“As long as I can increase it one more time, even the destruction of the world will be worth it. I can survive in a vacuum for a few minutes with my current energy,” he said confidently.

It had steadily increased in half an hour.

There was a good chance of seeing the beginning of a cycle.

Wang Wen held the scepter and the drone in his hands, his heart racing with excitement.

After a while…

Everyone noticed that the water” beneath their feet was completely drained.

All types of ores began to appear, as did a large number of sedimentation rocks, alexandrite rocks, and various types of volcanic rocks composed of various fundamental and even hyper-fundamental rocks. They rose into the air layer by layer, transforming into solid energy as they grew, fusing into the scepter.

Before Zhu Xingguo could close his mouth…

The colorful lava appeared.

It was accompanied by crystal fragments ranging in size from a football field to the size of an island, which transformed into air currents.

Ren Ruoruo’s saliva was about to flow when she noticed the spinning transparent and colorful crystals in front of her.

Not to mention such a big piece…

Even a palm-sized piece of it would be worth a fortune.

A few carats of diamonds were nothing before such a scene.

Her mind flashed back to the word diamond.

She noticed a gleaming crystal the size of the academy’s dormitory disintegrating quickly.

It should be a diamond that fell to such depths and relied on its enormous size to survive.

She did not have time to examine it more closely.

The crystal had already vanished with no trace.

Ren Ruoruo noticed that the three of them seemed to be ascending. The light around them had shifted from evenly distributed to straight.

There was nothing but darkness.

There was nothing but white behind her.

Even though she relied on Zhu Xingguo to hide in the ball the captain had created, she still could not help but feel fear.

The ground that had been peeled to the bottom was receding.

It was like an unhurried parabola, and the end was already in the arms of the pure white behemoth behind her.

“The quality is not enough,” Wang Wen said to Ren Ruoruo. “We’ll be sucked into the sun if we continue to follow it.”

“So we’re in space now?” Ren Ruoruo was shocked.

Wang Wen nodded and said, “Let’s get out of the tower. This pass is really awesome. It won’t give us any progress. I don’t have enough energy now, so I’ll just swear to pass this level. This is it for this week.”

Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo nodded.

Zhu Xingguo said, “Master, I don’t have many points. I have stored all the other replicas of the relics that can be stored. I only have enough points to buy two more Spirit Ears.”

“Two will do.” Wang Wen raised the drone in his hand and shook it to see if it could still be used.

Ren Ruoruo looked at the drone and asked hesitantly, “Captain, do you want to return to the 720th floor?”

Wang Wen looked at her. “If you want to go back, just stay safe. I won’t be entering the tower next week. I’m going to try to get some money. It’s really uncomfortable to be so short of money.”

Ren Ruoruo nodded. As she requested to return to the drone, she asked curiously, “Did you increase the number of times you performed the Unity of Man and Nature?”

Upon hearing that…

Wang Wen’s gaze was fixed on the fireball, which gradually faded into the distance. “It is very capable,” he said with a sigh. “It lasted until the second time it appeared.”

Outside the tower…

It was Thursday afternoon.

It was not a popular time to depart from the tower.

Two people exited the portal at the entrance.

One man in the square, eating, was taken aback.

His gaze was drawn to the two individuals who had entered one of District 5’s teleportation gates.

He quickly put down his lunchbox and took out his phone to make a call.

“Boss, the target has left the tower!”

“F*ck! So early?”

At the academy gate.

“Alright,” Wang Wen said to Zhu Xingguo. “You don’t have to send me off. You’re tired too. Go and rest.

Zhu Xingguo took out the stored relics and asked Wang Wen, somewhat hesitantly, “Master, when will you climb the tower next?”

Wang Wen shook his head. “We’ll have to see how much money I can make next week. I’ll contact you later.”

Zhu Xingguo left slowly after giving out the items.

Wang Wen smiled and took out his phone to send messages to his friends as he walked into the academy.

When he arrived at the dormitory building, he noticed Gu Jianbing directing a group of former intelligence department members to run up and down, busy with something.

He walked up to take a look, curious.

Wang Wen’s unexpected appearance stunned Gu Jianbing.

“You left the tower?”

Wang Wen nodded, his eyes looking at Mo Ran, who was climbing up the window. “What are they doing?”

Gu Jianbing patted his chest and explained, “It’s a trap formation. Mo Ran’s body is not good enough to do heavy work, so he’ll just have to pull some strings. The others will be working on the traps in the building, and the dormitory is where everyone can rest. I’ve studied it for a long time, and this is the most suitable place to use as the core.”

“Has it already started?” Wang Wen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the lizard-like Mo Ran, his interest growing.

In his previous life, when he entered the First Consortium, the intelligence department had already finished building the trap array.

He only had time to feel its power and had no chance to witness the birth of the mechanism.

When he saw a mechanical formation start from zero in another place, Wang Wen was a little excited.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jianbing shook his head and said, “It’s still too early. We’re only doing tests to see if the mechanism is suitable for the current floor structure and the maximum damage it can withstand. It might take about a month before we officially start.”

Wang Wen nodded and calmed down.

He took out a Spirit Ear and placed it in the old man’s hand, saying, “It’s good for your health. Use it to make tea.”
