Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

“What are you talking about? When did I become so weak that I was on the verge of collapse? I’m clearly full of energy and indestructible!”

Meng Chao felt very wronged.

He also knew that his current appearance was not very good.

After staying underground for a long time and undergoing high-intensity tests, he still had to constantly resist the temptation and erosion of the ancient ruins’ summon and absorb power that was beneficial to humans. That had caused his skin to turn pale and his flesh to shrink. There were two huge dark circles hanging on his face at all times, and even his hair seemed to be thinner than before.

In short, his appearance was becoming increasingly similar to that of the researchers in the ancient ruins research center, who wore white coats.

His entire body had shrunk by a few sizes too. It was completely incomparable to his tanned and muscular physique when he had just completed his wilderness training.

Even without the sunglasses, mask, and cap, not many young and beautiful female citizens would be able to recognize him when he walked on the streets.

His parents were shocked when they saw him.

His mother was so heartbroken that she wiped away her tears. She thought that he had suffered a lot in the Supernatural Tower. She thought that he had to roast more than a hundred Demonic Halberd Pig kidneys to nourish his body.

Furthermore, compared with a media darling like Wang Dao, at least in terms of appearance, the difference was like heaven and earth!

It was difficult for Meng Chao to explain his current situation to his family.

However, he knew very well in his heart that at that moment, he had made a qualitative leap in comparison to half a year ago.

Not to mention, Battle God Lei Zongchao had imparted dozens of battle skills to him. Lei Zongchao had gathered all his martial arts wisdom and practical combat experience as well as integrated them into the unique skills in the depths of Meng Chao’s spirit meridians.

Forget the bizarre, colorful scenes, and mysterious revelations that Meng Chao had seen through the ancient ruins’ summon…

There was even no need to mention the benefits that he had gained from the repeated tests of the various ancient black technologies.

The contribution points that shone in the corner of Meng Chao’s eyes and the series of “zeros” that followed were the best rewards for his hard work and selfless dedication over the past half-year.

In the past half-year, Meng Chao had accumulated a total of 5,000,000 contribution points!

That was after deducting the number of points he had accumulated after constantly healing his injuries and increasing his proficiency in Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash.

For the time being, Meng Chao had yet to decide which skill he should invest the 5,000,000 contribution points into.

However, no matter where he invested it, he would be able to awaken another three or five unique skills similar to Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash and increase his proficiency to Perfect Level.

As long as he spent another ten days to half a month to recuperate his body and replenish enough spirit energy, Meng Chao was absolutely confident that he would be able to reach the peak of Heaven Realm!

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m just doing special training.”

In order to reassure his family, Meng Chao explained, “You can see that I’m exhausted and very weak right now. I deliberately caused it.

“I’ve intentionally kept my body in a ‘sub-healthy’ state. It may look weak, but everything is under control. As long as I want to, I can return to the most perfect competitive state at any time.”

“Why?”

Bai Jiacao was confused. “Why is there a need to maintain a ‘sub-healthy’ state?”

“Because, in a real battle, it is impossible for you to maintain the best competitive state where you are refreshed, your spirit energy is abundant, and every cell is intact!”

Meng Chao seriously said, “Right now, the war between us and the monster civilization is only limited to the vicinity of Dragon City. Even if we are exhausted or covered in wounds, it is very easy for us to get support from the rear or take armored airships back to the rear to rest and heal. Therefore, most of the superhumans in Dragon City pay more attention to explosive power than endurance.

“But since our journey is to travel across the entire Other World in the near future, our frontlines will certainly extend thousands of miles away or even tens of thousands of miles away. We must always be prepared to fight in an isolated environment for Dragon City, which is thousands of miles away.

“When that time comes, it will be normal for us to fight in battle with injuries or even our remaining health. Even if we are corroded by acid, poisoned, or cursed by the enemy, we will have to grit our teeth and persevere despite being plagued by all kinds of negative effects, not to mention subpar health.

“In order to deal with a brand new war, I had to carry out adaptive training in advance. It’s that simple.”

Meng Chao was not lying.

When he first carried out the black technology test in the ancient ruins, every time the test ended, he could not wait to use the newly acquired contribution points to repair his scarred body.

However, he had quickly discovered that this was not reasonable because the ancient black technology was for all superhumans or even all the people of Dragon City to use freely.

Not everyone had a monstrous physique like him.

Moreover, he also considered the future war. It was common for him to go deep into the enemy’s rear and fight a protracted war.

From the memory fragments of his previous life, those who could survive until the end of the world were not necessarily the supreme experts with the highest realm and the strongest combat strength.

Instead, it was veterans who were often covered in wounds but never aged even after dying.

Meng Chao had become well-versed in such techniques in his previous life.

That was the greatest magic treasure that could allow him to live until the end as a “third-rate expert”.

After returning from the apocalypse, although his combat ability had increased by dozens of times now than in his previous life…

He had already made up his mind to actively participate in the war between worlds and change the direction of the war. The danger he would encounter was hundreds of times greater than that of his previous life.

It was better to get used to fighting with injuries in advance so that he would not die even if he suffered a fatal wound.

Therefore, Meng Chao had intentionally suppressed his spirit energy reserve, muscle strength, and cell activity to 30% of their normal state. He had even intentionally poisoned himself, injected anesthetics, and gone slightly insane to simulate a “seriously injured” state to train and test himself.

Such special training could not only strengthen his adaptability and willpower but also squeeze out the unparalleled, violent life potential that originated from the ancient era in the moment of life and death.

Meng Chao did not know what level Wang Dao had currently reached.

However, he firmly believed that right then it did not matter even if his spirit energy reserve and cell activity were only at 30%. If his “seriously injured” self encountered Wang Dao in the arena, he would definitely be the winner.

If he were in his 100% perfect state, he would be confident in his ability to freely encounter 100 Wang Daos in the wilderness!

“That makes sense.”

Out of her natural trust in her brother, Bai Jiacao did not doubt Meng Chao’s words. She became excited again. “So, it’s a special kind of cultivation. Brother, what realm are you in now? I heard that Wang Dao is about to break through to the five-star Spirit Gaze Realm.”

“Realms are very important, but they’re not the most important thing. I hope that you won’t blindly pursue a higher realm on the road of transcendence and neglect the more exciting things in the world of transcendence.”

Meng Chao pondered for a moment and said, “The road of transcendence is like climbing a tower. The Earth Realm, the Heaven Realm, and the Deity Realm… These three realms have nine levels just like a nine-storied tower. Ordinary people who enter the tower will sharpen their brains and climb up with all their might. After all, ‘to see a thousand miles is to ascend to the next level’. The scenery at the top is always more beautiful, and the air is always fresher.

“But don’t forget that this tower doesn’t only have ‘height’, but also ‘breadth’ and ‘depth’.

“In the circle of superhumans, in the field of battle alone, there are four main occupations and a large number of sub-occupations: warrior, heroic spirit users, machine masters, and monster controllers.

“Plus, only the warrior is divided into the Ultimate Style, the Overkill Style, the Gun Fighting Style, the Machine Armor Style, the Beast Soul Style, and so on.

“It’s not only medicine, engineering, meteorology, military science… In every field, extraordinary powers are shining.

“It’s like the Supernatural Tower has an infinite range and depth. Every floor has an infinite area. Furthermore, there are countless fascinating runes, classics, and paintings engraved on the infinite walls. It prevents people from forgetting it and taking their eyes off it.

“When other people enter the Supernatural Tower, they are always in a rush to climb up. All they want to do is to peek at the scenery at the highest point. However, I want to stay on each floor for a period of time so that I can enjoy the runes, classics, and paintings to my heart’s content. Even if I can’t take in all the mysteries, at the very least, I want to see more.”

“I see…”

Bai Jiacao fell into deep thought, but she still did not understand. “Brother, the longer you stay on each level, the stronger your combat ability will be?”

“Well, cultivation realm and combat ability are two different things. If you want to create a glorious and great civilization, you can’t just rely on combat ability!”

Meng Chao said, “Moreover, if you measure combat ability by the simplest and most brutal standard, even the combat ability of a Deity Realm expert might not be able to defeat an Apocalyptic Beast of the same level. However, in the end, the Apocalyptic Beast that once dominated Monster Mountain Range and even threatened Dragon City was beaten so badly by us that it even gave up. Why do you think that is?”

“This…”

Bai Jiacao fell into deep thought.

Looking at his younger sister’s humble attitude, Meng Chao let out a slight sigh of relief.

In the past half year, he had come into contact with even more of the ancient civilization’s mysteries in the ancient ruins, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the definition and mission of civilization.

Even the ancient civilization, which had possessed such incredible power and had been able to instantly move a city in the sea of stars and ensure that all living creatures in the city were as lively as before, had been annihilated in the tide of time.

The power of the human civilization was insignificant compared to that immemorial civilization.

However, what if the people on Earth could reach one percent, one-tenth, or even completely replicate the power of the immemorial civilization? Was that the reason for the ancient civilization to summon the people of Earth here?

Meng Chao still needed to seriously consider that question.

Moreover, he did not want to see his sister, who had Night Demon Blood, blindly pursue the realms and combat strength.

Before his sister completely transformed into the Dark Witch, if possible, it would be better for him to cultivate his body and temper his nature, as well as expose himself to the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and dancing skills.

“Xiaocao, although you’ve become a warrior like me, I don’t want you to become a pure combat machine. The so-called ‘martial arts’ are not more important than the spirit. With this understanding, it’s more likely for you to climb the realm of transcendence!”

Meng Chao patted Bai Jiacao on the shoulder. “Dragon University’s Martial Arts Department is right in front of us. Let’s go and report!”
