What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Too much knowledge leads to a lack of depth; it's truly difficult for him to comprehend profound mysteries through his own abilities alone.

Yang Xi couldn't help but think, "If only the profound mysteries could be stripped away too!"

But then he quickly dismissed his idea.

The profound meaning is a fourth-tier domain. His ability to peel off dark energy cubes with a maximum limit of 43967 units is only that of a relatively powerful third-tier ability user. At most, the effect is better. To peel off profound meanings with a higher level is simply a pipe dream.

"Forget it, there's always a way out. Anyway, I now have the Demon Hunter Meditation Technique. If all else fails, I'll upgrade the Demon Hunter Bow to 43967 Dark Energy Units, and then slowly improve it using the Meditation Technique."

"Maybe this can also raise the upper limit of my own dark energy?"

Yang Xi glanced around at the teenagers and said, "Let's see how well these kids are doing with their training first."

Ouyang Xuan also began to comprehend the Shooting Crow Diagram. For a time, the only person standing on the entire Enlightenment Peak was Yang Xi, who was wearing a rooster-shaped vest.

Since he had nothing better to do, Yang Xi simply logged off and began observing the demon-hunting energy that the teenagers were absorbing, to see what factors were affecting their cultivation efficiency.

Even with the aid of superhuman abilities, researching meditation techniques is still far too mentally taxing.

Back in reality, sensing the varying amounts of demon-hunting energy within the youths, Yang Xi suddenly recalled the "magic affinity" section of Master Damon's alchemy notes.

308 B05 defensive line attacked

Master Damon's notes mention that he took a risk and came to the Blue Star Plane to find a way out because his own magical affinity was not high.

"This affinity for magic must be a crucial factor in the practice of meditation."

Yang Xi attempted to compare the strength of the talents of the eighteen teenagers present based on the amount of dark energy they absorbed.

Because it was a group experiment, the mental strength of the superhuman group and the ordinary people group was not the same. Therefore, the demon-hunting energy converted by the former through visualizing the shooting of Wutu was significantly more than that of the latter.

Even with similar levels of mental strength, the amount of demon-hunting energy converted by each member of Yang Chuyou's group differed.

This girl switched roles the most, followed by another boy named Qian Weichen.

It seems that these two, despite their mischievousness, still possess considerable skill.

"However, the amount of demon-hunting energy one can grasp will also affect the amount of divine essence one has."

"I shouldn't simply compare the demon-hunting energy they currently possess, but rather compare the efficiency with which each test subject absorbs dark energy. This is the only way to demonstrate their own magical affinity, or rather, the strength of their dark energy affinity."

With the assistance of the Vermilion Bird's consciousness, and through extensive data analysis, Yang Xi gradually determined the approximate range of each teenager's dark energy affinity.

In terms of talent alone, Yang Chuyou is still the best, three times that of the person with the lowest affinity for dark energy.

Qian Weichen's ranking was slightly lower, at just over twice as high.

Their cultivation speed was noticeably faster than others, even surpassing those of their peers who had already become superhumans.

"It seems I chose the right person by accident."

Yang Xi was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had only intended to give them a slight punishment, but unexpectedly, he had chosen the two people with the highest affinity for dark energy to cultivate the Demon Hunting Meditation Method from scratch.

"However, at their current cultivation speed, it will take Yang Chuyou, who is the fastest, eight months to develop a superpower, and Qian Weichen will need a year."

"What will test them is not only their talent, but also their unwavering determination!"

Thinking of this, Yang Xi smiled slightly. As long as the external pressure is great enough, they can definitely persevere.

And he happens to be very good at putting pressure on people.

"Huh, what's up with Ouyang Xuan?"

Yang Xi was so focused on his experimental subjects that he neglected the cultivation progress of his partner, Ouyang Xuan.

In his opinion, Ouyang Xuan, who ranked third on the Four Seas Ranking, was far more powerful than these little brats. His cultivation would surely be incredibly efficient, as Yang Xi himself had found it very effective.

However, to his surprise, although Ouyang Xuan converted a huge amount of demon-hunting energy, his absorption efficiency was shockingly low.

It was far fewer than the worst experimental subject boy.

"No way, the energy absorption efficiency is so low? Doesn't this mean that Ouyang Xuan has a very low affinity for dark energy?"

"That shouldn't be the case. With his current strength, he must be one of the most talented people in the entire Four Seas!"

Yang Xi was completely baffled.

But then he realized the key point: Ouyang Xuan was different from these teenagers. He originally possessed superpowers, and there was a solidified soul circuit in his body. However, this soul circuit was not compatible with the demon-hunting energy!

"So, it's because he's cultivating a second superpower?"

"But I have more than two kinds of superpowers within me, so why am I able to cultivate so quickly?"

A thought flashed through Yang Xi's mind: "That's it! The way my superpower exists within me is different."

In ordinary superhumans, superpowers exist in the form of soul circuits. However, in Yang Xi's body, the superpowers that were plundered exist in the form of superpower beads, and there is no conflict between the soul circuits and the special energy.

"But could my original ability to detach also exist in the form of an ability bead? Or is it simply that I have an excessively strong affinity for dark energy, so even with the soul circuit of the ability to detach already covered in my body, I can still easily cultivate a second ability?"

Yang Xi leans more towards the first explanation.

A large amount of demon-hunting energy dissipated from the teenagers' bodies and returned to its original dark energy.

However, in Yang Xi's perception, the dark energy emanating from their bodies was still somewhat tainted with impurities.

Perhaps many years from now, when the number of humans practicing meditation increases dramatically, the dark energy of the blue planet will no longer be as clear and pure as it is today.

At that time, people's cultivation speed will also decrease.

Yang Chuyou was the last to open her eyes. Having absorbed a lot of demon-hunting energy, her temperament had subtly changed. The moment she opened her eyes, her gaze became much sharper.

"I feel so refreshed, as if I don't need to sleep anymore, and even my stomach isn't growling anymore."

Yang Chuyou got up, stretched his body, and found that his physical fitness had improved to a certain extent.

"I feel like there's something inside my body!"

Other boys in the regular group also had this feeling to varying degrees, but none as obviously as Yang Chuyou.

This is actually quite normal, since for ordinary people, they are genuinely absorbing demon-hunting energy.

This is a change from nothing to something, so naturally there will be different experiences.

But this will only be the case at the beginning. By the second or third time you practice, you probably won't have this wonderful feeling anymore.

After all, the accumulation of demon-hunting energy is still very slow. To experience the thrill of this "breakthrough" again, they will probably have to wait until they successfully cultivate their superpowers and solidify their soul circuits.

The difference in cultivation efficiency between the drug group and the ordinary group also made Yang Xi discover some flaws in his meditation method.

"In terms of the training process from ordinary people to superhumans, the Demon Hunter Meditation Method is still too inefficient. If it were an ordinary person whose aptitude wasn't as good as the test subjects, it would probably take them three to five years to develop superhuman abilities!"

"This only applies to those who are slightly quick-witted. If it were someone dull-witted, they probably wouldn't be able to cultivate any special abilities even until they die."

"Moreover, this is not what I want. The Demon Hunter Meditation Method has too little universality and is too specific. It is only effective for ability users whose ability is the Demon Hunter Bow."

"If there were a meditation method that was widely applicable and could be practiced by most people with superpowers, it would be effective in changing the current state of humanity."

After all, the difficulty of creating a meditation method is extremely high. According to Yang Xi and Ouyang Xuan's speculation, only a fourth-level expert, who has a thorough understanding of his own profound meaning, could create one.

How many Tier 4 beings does the Azure Star race have now?

How can we address the issue of disseminating this visualization?

We can't expect Tongtian to unleash a sword strike imbued with the essence of slaughter wherever he goes; even a fourth-tier expert would be exhausted to death.

Yang Xi sighed, "It seems that going to the occupied island chain, and even the Southern Continent, is still inevitable."

Ouyang Xuan snapped out of his cultivation state. Although he wasn't as sensitive to energy as Yang Xi, he could still tell that his progress wasn't good.

But this did not affect his mood. His purpose in participating in this experiment was not to cultivate the Demon Hunter Bow ability.

Rather, it was to create his own meditation method. After witnessing the Demon Hunting Meditation Method provided by Yang Xi, he had a vague sense of direction, which was much better than being completely clueless before.

In the days that followed, Yang Xi spent his life in this routine, accompanying the young people in their cultivation, and occasionally discussing improvements to the meditation method with Ouyang Xuan.

At the same time, he was also preparing to infiltrate the already fallen island chain, and the opportunity finally arrived.

On this day, Yang Xi had just returned to his commander's residence and retrieved Bi Yuewu's clone when a shrill alarm sounded on the 05 front.

Months after the Judgment Organization and the Qian family took charge of guarding the defense line, the first invasion of alien beasts finally arrived!

Led by four powerful level-1 alien beasts, with other level-2 and level-3 alien beasts following in droves, they marched in a mighty force, together with the giant waves created by the water elemental alien beasts, and continued to approach the human island chain defense line!

309 Disguised Beast

The strongest fighters on the 05 defense line all rushed to Yang Xi's side immediately.

The powerful Ziyun Sword Duan Libang, the Gem Collector, and the Flame Fighter stood solemnly to Yang Xi's left.

The judges, including Liu Yuan (whose constellation is Kui Mulang), Blanche (whose constellation is Blanche), Yang Feifei, and Ji Yourong, are to Yang Xi's right.

Including Yang Xi himself, who wore the Bi Yue Wu vest, there were a total of eight level-eight powerhouses.

Duan Libang said, "Commander, the ratio of our level-1 experts to level-2 beasts is only 21. Based on past experience, this is dangerous! We should quickly ask your organization's higher-ups for help. If you send just one zodiac-ranked expert, our combat strength will be basically equal. If you send two, we'll be absolutely safe, and we'll definitely get the battle merits."

Duan Libang had a very optimistic plan: if the Judgment Organization sent two Zodiac Signs, they probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; these invading beasts would likely be eliminated.

The gem collector and the flame fighter standing nearby looked much more relaxed after hearing Duan Libang's words.

Yeah, what's going on now!

Their 05 defense line is backed by the powerful Judgment Organization. If a few of their zodiac signs were to join them, wouldn't they be able to suppress everything?

What's there to panic about!

Although they were initially humiliated by Ji Yourong and Blanche.

But what's more important than your life!

Yang Xi sneered. He didn't plan to use the zodiac-themed alias today.

To others, the eight of them facing four level-four alien beasts was extremely dangerous, but Yang Xi regarded this defensive battle as a great opportunity for training.

Through trials of life and death, even without the support of meditation, the strength of powerful humans will still slowly improve.

Between life and death lies both great terror and great opportunity.

Which of the top figures in the hierarchy didn't fight their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there won't be any more reinforcements."

"Not to mention the zodiac position, there won't even be one for the constellation position."

"The organization has already done enough by entrusting the 05 defense line to me and sending Kui Mulang to assist me. If I were to seek further support from the organization, wouldn't I have no face left?"

Yang Xi said loudly, "Are there really no eight of us to face a mere four super-powerful beasts? Do we not even have the courage to fight?"

Duan Libang was somewhat unwilling, "Why bother, Brother Yang Xi? It's not worth taking the risk! Don't blame me for being talkative, but the war on the island chain defense line is not like the small skirmishes you're doing behind the lines. If we're not careful, it's a small matter if we die in battle, but if we lose the defense line, it will be our compatriots in the rear who suffer!"
