Chapter 59

The feeling of the surge in momentum reminded Wang Ge of the time he had watched tigers at the zoo. The tigers would lie there with their eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep, and at that moment, not just Wang Ge but everyone felt that the tigers were just harmless big cats, feeling quite disappointed.

But when the zookeeper threw in a chicken, the tiger that seemed harmless suddenly burst with immense power, pouncing and tearing the chicken to shreds in an instant. At that moment, the true majesty of the king of beasts was revealed, making the audience's hearts race and their faces turn pale.

The momentum of the man with the buzz cut suddenly erupted. He let out a loud cry, and at that moment, his speed increased dramatically, leaving afterimages in Wang Ge's eyes as he ran!

"Ha!" The man with the buzz cut leaped into the air, as if performing a light kung fu move, landing on the head of the nearest insectoid. With a heavy stomp, "bang," the insectoid's head burst like a balloon.

The man with the buzz cut continued his sprint, stepping on heads, and with each step, he crushed a head. Blood and brain matter splattered in a series of gruesome scenes, both shocking and bloody!

So powerful... Wang Ge couldn't help but draw a deep breath. The insectoids were spaced apart, and the distances varied, but the man with the buzz cut seemed to step with pinpoint accuracy, as if guided, without a moment's hesitation, like flowing water.

Regardless of whether the insectoids were tall or short, and whether they resisted or not, the man with the buzz cut simply stepped on their heads and crushed them!

Dominant!

Every insectoid the man with the buzz cut passed was left with no chance!

The man with the buzz cut intentionally ran in a circle, with Liang Jiaju and the others at the center. At this moment, his speed, judgment, strength, and endurance were all far beyond the norm. He circled three times, and Wang Ge only saw his shadow stepping on heads in mid-air. When he returned and landed, the first insectoid he had crushed was just falling to the ground.

So strong! Wang Ge was shocked as he surveyed the fallen insectoids. Now, the insectoids surrounding Liang Jiaju and the others were all headless, creating a three-meter-wide vacuum in the encirclement.

Wang Ge roughly counted, and the man with the buzz cut had killed at least thirty insectoids in this burst, truly like a god descending from heaven!

No wonder those above level 10 are called superhumans... This is something ordinary people can't do! Wang Ge glanced at the man with the buzz cut again, noticing his pale face and sweat-drenched forehead, indicating that the burst had cost him a lot. However, the man with the buzz cut seemed to continue fighting with only a slight decline, lacking the god-like power and momentum of the burst.

That must be the result of opening the Life Gate... Wang Ge speculated. The Life Gate is a high school subject, and since Wang Ge hadn't attended high school, he had little exposure to it. Starting from sophomore year, Wang Fei attended a star warfare class and didn't study the Life Gate, so he couldn't guide Wang Ge.

In the social circles Wang Ge was in, no one understood the Life Gate, and he was far from being able to open it.

"Ha ha ha... Well done!" Liang Jiaju praised excitedly, "Huang Wei, I didn't expect you and Lu Jian to both be level 10, but he is far inferior to you!"

Huang Wei, while fighting the insectoids, proudly replied, "Second Young Master has a keen eye. Lu Jian only opened his Life Gate with the help of a mental master, making his level 10 status undeserved, and his combat ability naturally low."

"I heard your Life Gate was triggered in life-and-death battles, truly remarkable." Liang Jiaju generously said, "When we return home, this young master will reward you heavily!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Huang Wei's spirits were immediately lifted. What do bodyguards like us want? People die for wealth, and birds for food!

So there are so many ways to open the Life Gate? Wang Ge pondered. The deceased level 10 life, Lu Jian, relied on a mental master to open his Life Gate, while this man with the buzz cut, Huang Wei, triggered his Life Gate in life-and-death battles. I wonder what other ways there are...

What exactly is opening the Life Gate?

Liang Jiaju praised Huang Wei for two reasons: to ensure his survival and to intimidate Wang Ge, who was an outsider.

But when he looked at Wang Ge, he couldn't help but be amazed by his combat ability.

I didn't expect this Big Wang to wield a large axe. Although he is far from Huang Wei in killing insectoids, he is much stronger than the level 9 life, Yang Mi. Liang Jiaju thought, That's odd, Big Wang fights in B-level matches, so he must be no more than level 8. Why is he so strong?

Although a playboy, Liang Jiaju was not stupid. After careful observation, he concluded: The problem lies with the axe!

The axe was extremely sharp, making the insectoids' tough armor as fragile as paper. Liang Jiaju couldn't help but think of the Iron Blood weapons crafted by the Federation's military. He knew more about Iron Blood weapons than Wang Ge. From his perspective, this axe was at least a C-level weapon!

Of course, he didn't know that this large axe could transform into a Rubik's cube or that it had cultivation techniques on it. Otherwise, he would have given it an even higher evaluation.

C-level weapons are not easy to obtain. In the black market, any C-level weapon costs over 100,000 solar coins, and some are even priced at 400,000 to 500,000!

Iron Blood weapons are owned by specific individuals. The Federation's military crafts them and awards them to soldiers who have earned military honors.

Therefore, Iron Blood weapons, except those stored in military arsenals, are one-to-one. There are only two ways to obtain an Iron Blood weapon: on the battlefield. When a soldier with an Iron Blood weapon dies, black market weapon dealers risk their lives to retrieve the weapon from the battlefield.

The other way is also through the death of a soldier. When a soldier dies with honors, the Iron Blood weapon is awarded to their family as a memorial. If the family falls into poverty, they might secretly sell the Iron Blood weapon to the black market. Or it might be stolen and end up in the black market.

Thus, Iron Blood weapons can only be bought in the black market. D-level weapons are easier to obtain because they are numerous and of lower grade, mostly held by lower-ranking soldiers. But C-level weapons are hard to come by, often having a price but no seller.

Even Liang Jiaju, looking at this large axe, was intensely covetous.

If this thing were mine, even if I can't use it, it would be a great addition to my collection... Liang Jiaju drooled, losing interest in the girl in his arms.

Wang Ge was now pondering another matter. Since Huang Wei was so powerful after opening his Life Gate, why didn't he continuously open it to kill all the insectoids at once?

Is there some unseen restriction?

Wang Ge intentionally wanted to see what Huang Wei would do, so he reduced his efficiency in killing insectoids, seemingly working but not putting in much effort.

The other level 9 life bodyguard, Yang Mi, killed fewer insectoids with his bare hands because a level 9 life's strength couldn't directly penetrate the insectoids' armor.

Fortunately, no new insectoids joined the fray. It seemed all the nearby insectoids had gathered here.

Over a hundred insectoids, with Huang Wei's burst killing over thirty, and the rest being killed by Huang Wei, Yang Mi, and Wang Ge working together, after nearly half an hour of intense battle, only about twenty remained.

Yang Mi was already at the end of his strength, and even Wang Ge, despite holding back, was panting and exhausted.

At this moment, Huang Wei, wanting to show off his skills to his master, although not fully recovered, let out a loud cry and opened his Life Gate again. He charged forward like a tiger or leopard, punching and kicking with no resistance, killing the remaining twenty insectoids in one go.

"Great!" Liang Jiaju felt that Huang Wei had earned him face in front of the girl. As a leader, he clapped passionately, and Huang Wei looked proud. Yan Xiaojiao, seeing all the insectoids dead, also came back to life, her face flushed as she clapped and cheered.

Wang Ge, however, noticed that Huang Wei's condition seemed even more weakened after this burst.

During the first burst, Huang Wei was only pale and sweating. After this burst, his face was as white as paper, and his buzz cut was completely drenched in sweat, hanging limply on his head, losing its coolness.

Even Wang Ge noticed that Huang Wei's hands, hanging at his sides, were trembling slightly.

This time was very勉强! Wang Ge thought, seemingly the activation of the Life Gate requires a certain amount of time to buffer, perhaps to recover mental and physical energy. From Huang Wei's condition, it seems that after activating the Life Gate once, he cannot activate it again in a short time, otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for half an hour to activate it again.

Moreover, from his first activation, where he displayed immense power but only killed thirty insectoids, it seems that the duration of the Life Gate's activation is limited. That superhuman power seems to last... well, it was hard to measure the time, but it probably didn't exceed half a minute.

Fortunately, after activating the Life Gate, it doesn't seem to affect the ability to fight normally. Overall, a level 10 life with the Life Gate open is far superior to a level 9 life, truly a dividing line between humans and superhumans.

"Yang Mi, you did well too. With you, we will definitely return safely to the Mountain City base." Liang Jiaju also praised Yang Mi, making him feel more balanced. Liang Jiaju then asked, "How far is it from here to the Mountain City base on foot?"

Yang Mi checked the positioning device: "Second Young Master, due to the magnetic field in this area, we can't get a fix, but I've been to these mountains before. From here to the Mountain City base, it's no more than 200 miles. With our pace, we can definitely get out of the mountains before dark.

"Moreover, the biggest threat, the insectoids, have been eliminated. Any other insect beasts we encounter, even high-level ones, won't be a threat because they don't act in groups. So, Second Young Master, we are basically safe now."

Are we safe now? Liang Jiaju nodded, feeling more at ease. At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Ge's large axe with ill intent.
