Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

One second later.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from the ground.

Team Leader Jia Linfeng of the investigation group immediately saw a gray-stone person, didn't know where it jumped out from, and collided with the Winged Demon in mid-air.

The stone person's height exceeded three meters, with an outline slightly reminiscent of the full body armor from Great Xia's ancient times, looking visually oppressive.

Jia Linfeng was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Rock Mountain Armor!"

The so-called "Rock Mountain Armor" is precisely the signature superpower of Wu Dingtian, the highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion.

Some time ago, when the Poisonous Mosquito disaster had just erupted, Great Xia, to boost the morale of the people, publicly released a video through the official media.

In the video, Commander Wu exhibited his superpower, instantly covering himself with a layer of gray stone armor, and punched through a three-meter-thick stone wall.

The style of this armor references the full-body armor of a particular dynasty in Great Xia.

Its name is — Rock Mountain Armor.

Meaning as hard as a stone mountain.

After the video was released.

The people of Great Xia gave Commander Wu a nickname — Rock Mountain Armor.

At this moment.

Jia Linfeng personally witnessed the appearance of Rock Mountain Armor, and his heart was filled with shock.

He finally realized that the incident he was investigating might involve a very high-level.

Otherwise, how could such a big shot like the highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion appear here?

"Bang!"

Another muffled sound.

The Winged Demon was struck hard.

Though it tried to dodge with all its might, having just been attacked by special bullets, it hadn't fully recovered, unable to avoid it at all.

At this instant.

Commander Wu swung his right fist with full force.

Dozens of spikes emerged instantly, piercing through the right-side scales of the Winged Demon with holes.

"Squeal!"

The Winged Demon let out a painful screech.

It vigorously flapped its left scales, and with a "slap" sent Commander Wu flying away.

Gray stone texture on the surface of the Rock Mountain Armor instantly showed spider-like cracks.

Enough to show how powerful this monster's strength is.

However.

The Winged Demon still fell into the trap.

The gray stone substance spread quickly, enveloping half of the monster's body.

It could no longer maintain its balance, accelerating its fall downward.

In the next moment.

Several blazing fireballs flew from different directions, accurately hitting the Winged Demon.

The fierce flames burst out, instantly enveloping the monster.

The Winged Demon fell on a piece of open ground amidst a burst of flames.

Jia Linfeng, witnessing the superpower user's battle for the first time, felt his heart racing and his nerves on edge.

At this moment.

Commander Wu jumped up again, smashing towards the Winged Demon like a cannonball.

A frenzied brawl began between one man and one monster.

"Bang!"

Commander Wu was hit in the chest, blood seeping from his mouth and nose.

"Thud!"

The Winged Demon was hammered hard by a stone arm, one of its arms bent at a slight angle.

The two sides exchanged fists and kicks, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Bang! Bang!"

A group of snipers stood by, seeking opportunities to add shots, continuously attacking the monster's weaknesses.

Soon.

Commander Wu's punches each struck with increasing power, completely suppressing the Winged Demon.

The monster roared in anger, but had no means of retaliation.

This is precisely the characteristic of Commander Wu's superpower.

The harder he gets hit, the greater the potential triggered by the superpower, resulting in stronger attacks.

Because of this.

Inside the Jiuzhou Legion, it was jokingly called — the bruising superpower.

Over a dozen seconds later.

Commander Wu roared, his stone fist swelling to double its size, smashing down on the monster like a huge boulder.

"Bang!"

A particularly loud muffled sound echoed.

With the punch as the center, a circle twenty meters wide on the ground instantly sank to a depth of a full palm.

The surrounding ground was further filled with spider-web-like cracks.

The Winged Demon's skull caved in a large part, with two pale eyes bursting from their sockets.

A large amount of grotesque green brain matter poured out from the dented spot.

The body of the Winged Demon twitched a few times, then fell completely silent.

It was dead.

Commander Wu panted heavily and spat out: "The damned thing!"

He then laughed out loud, "Today was immensely satisfying!"

Jia Linfeng gazed at the scene, filled with awe.

Is this what a superpower user is?

Liu Hei flapped its wings and happened to land on Team Leader Jia's shoulder.

It glanced at Team Leader Jia and asked, "Do you think it's insane?"

Jia Linfeng was already at a loss for words, already at a loss for words.

Liu Hei's tone carried a hint of disdain: "What is this? This big fool can't even withstand a mere glance from the master."

Jia Linfeng wore an expression of complete disbelief.

A punch killing a monster and smashing the ground into such a state - how could someone defeat Commander Wu with just a glance?

Talk about bragging!

Liu Hei couldn't stand that look and cawed loudly, flying onto the shoulder of a short and stout superpower user nearby.

The short and stout superpower user knew this Spirit Crow was quite impressive, hastily squeezing out a smile: "Mr. Liu Hei, is there anything you need?"

Liu Hei glanced at Team Leader Jia: "Go tell that foolish investigator which tier Commander Wu ranks among superpowers in Great Xia."

The short and stout superpower user genuinely felt this was a baffling request.

But he couldn't afford to offend Liu Hei, so he obeyed in earnest.

The short and stout superpower user approached Team Leader Jia, seriously explaining: "Although Commander Wu is strong, he is not the top-tier powerhouse in Great Xia.

"The acknowledged strongest in Great Xia is Mr. Ghost, likely the strongest on Canglan Star, capable of killing Commander Wu with a snap of a finger.

"Mr. Liu Hei's master, Mr. Spirit Crows, is considered the second most powerful in Great Xia.

"Mr. Spirit Crows has raised an evolved Spirit Crow capable of spitting Spirit Fire, which Commander Wu cannot match."

Jia Linfeng was dumbfounded as he listened.

The short and stout superpower user continued: "Many regard Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows as the only two top-tier powerhouses in Great Xia."

Liu Hei cawed again, unabashedly mocking Team Leader Jia: "You're just a frog at the bottom of a well."

Jia Linfeng's face was flushed with embarrassment.

The short and stout superpower user listened, his mouth twitching slightly.

He naturally knew that this unfortunate team leader had undoubtedly unintentionally provoked the petty Mr. Liu Hei, who then wouldn't let go.

A few seconds passed.

Commander Wu quickly walked over and saluted Liu Hei: "Mr. Spirit Crows, thank you very much for your assistance."

Liu Hei lightly flapped his wings: "The master said this is just the beginning, Great Xia must remain on high alert."

Commander Wu nodded: "I understand!"

He sighed: "Didn't expect the Poisonous Mosquito disaster to pass, and new troubles have already arrived."

Liu Hei had even learned to use metaphors: "The long night will eventually pass, and the dawn will surely come."

Commander Wu forced a smile: "I hope so!"

He looked genuinely grateful: "On behalf of Great Xia, I sincerely thank Mr. Spirit Crows for the timely warning."

Liu Hei flapped his wings again: "The master said serving the country is an unquestionable duty."

He decisively left a "I'm leaving" behind and swiftly took off into the sky.

Commander Wu watched Liu Hei disappear into the distance and couldn't help but say: "Great Xia has Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows; that is Great Xia's fortune!"

Superpower users around him nodded in agreement.

Jia Linfeng, listening in from the side, finally realized he might have witnessed something extraordinary.

Dozens of kilometers away.

Yang Fan stood atop the tree canopy, happily examining the Soul Stealing Wisp in his hand.

The Spiritual Source Value provided by the Winged Demon was more than he expected.

A full 3.8 points!

Besides.

The curiosity extracted a very special superpower.

Soul Stealer: Not activated, low-grade hybrid superpower, activation requires 5 points of Spiritual Source Value.

So far.

Among low-grade superpowers, this was the most Spiritual Source Value Yang Fan had seen required.

Yet he had no intention of activating it.

The Soul Stealing Wisp also provided related information.

One line made him completely dismiss the idea: once this superpower is activated, the body will undergo irreversible severe mutations.

He could tell right away; the so-called "severe mutations" actually meant turning into another Winged Demon.

Any creature that awakens the Soul Stealer superpower actually turns into the same kind of monster; this is truly a chilling thought.

Yang Fan sensed something faintly: "This Soul Stealer superpower seems to involve deeper elements."

In fact.

Just as Team Leader Jia anticipated.

From the moment the case in Blessed Land involving Wei Ji eating people was reported, the level of the case involved was already very high.

The Jiuzhou Legion acutely perceived that the disappearance of the first researcher must be linked to monsters from the Primordial World.

Given the seriousness of the incident, Jiuzhou Legion leadership promptly thought of a professional.

That is Yang Fan's other identity – Mr. Spirit Crows.

When Yang Fan saw the video, he immediately judged Wei Ji's soul seemed somewhat off.

The investigation team led by Team Leader Jia was just a tactic to lull the Winged Demons.

*

It wasn't long.

Another global emergency meeting was convened.

Great Xia's representative, Yu Changlong, proactively disclosed various information about the Winged Demons.

"Everyone should know, for unknown reasons, many world rifts exist within Shapudian."

"All signs indicate that a kind of monster called Winged Demons has set its sights on Canglan Star.

"According to information Great Xia has understood, Winged Demons are a primordial race living in tribal communities.

"Even a small tribe of Winged Demons wouldn't have fewer than ten thousand monsters."

Once these words were said.

The video conference became instantly noisy.

As long as one isn't foolish, one can hear clearly that Canglan Star is about to face a new test.

The representative of Carmenia Federation, Erich, was the first to shout: "Shapudian is right at Great Xia's doorstep; Great xia People should truly take responsibility."

Logically, facing an invasion by primordial species, all humanity should unite to eradicate the monsters.

But the Carmenians did quite the opposite; their first words were to shirk responsibility completely.

Clearly, this was a clever plan.

If Great Xia handles it well, Carmenia Federation can reap the benefits.

If Great Xia does poorly, Carmenia Federation can stand on the moral high ground and criticize Great xia People for not safeguarding Canglan Star's safety.
