What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

"This"

Marjo scratched his head with his paw. Duran's dragon breath shouldn't be this weak!

Yang Xi, now transformed into the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon, curled his lips slightly, tapped his head with his claw, and said to the grim-faced double-bladed assassin beside him, "Strong strength is not enough; one also needs a clever mind to devise a strategy."

"You only have a dagger left now. Let's see how you plan to fight the three of us."

After hearing Yang Xi's words, Ma Qiao suddenly realized that what had just happened was actually a feint by the young master.

Tao Te stuffed his intestines back into his stomach haphazardly, used the Azure Flame to burn his wounds for temporary treatment, and looked at Yang Xi with an approving gaze, "Young Master Duran truly lives up to his reputation as a genius that our Keith family has only seen once in ten years. His combat talent is quite reminiscent of the patriarch's style back then!"

The double-edged assassin, seeing the three menacing blue-eyed fire dragon, knew something was wrong. Having lost one of his daggers, he could no longer use many of his deadly moves, greatly reducing his combat power.

"Perhaps it's time to retreat. Anyway, it seems no one can take the Philosopher's Stone. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"

Just as he was about to slip away, something unexpected happened.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the one man and three dragons, the massive alchemical matrix was activated!

After absorbing the energy dissipated from their battle, the projection controlled the alchemical matrix, directing all the magic towards the sky!

A few breaths later, a pink light engulfed everyone, transforming into a pink pillar of light hundreds of meters high, soaring straight into the sky and lingering for a long time!

316 The identity of the projection!

The pink beam of light was very eye-catching and emitted a heart-pounding fluctuation.

If a fourth-tier expert were here, they would have noticed that the laws and mysteries of this spacetime were disturbed for 00001 seconds the moment the pink pillar of light appeared.

The projection gazes at the azure sky, 25 meters in diameter, revealed after the rock layers were evaporated by the beam of light.

"What a beautiful azure blue I haven't seen in ages!"

"I've used up all the energy I collected this time. Come quickly, you greedy human powerhouses, the more the better!"

In the final instant before the pillar of light dissipated, it transformed into a wave containing some kind of information, radiating outwards from Crimson Frost Island.

In an instant, the wave swept northeast across half of the Free Alliance's sea area and radiated southwest to the edge of a small piece of the New Frey continent.

A strange red-eyed man sitting cross-legged in the cave suddenly opened his eyes, exclaiming, "This is the Philosopher's Stone!"

A creaking sound came from the deep blue cave. He nodded and disappeared from the altar.

In the waters of the Free Alliance, somewhere within the island chain defense line, a handsome middle-aged man awoke from a half-asleep state and murmured, "Has my path been disturbed?"

He instantly transformed into a gust of wind, heading towards the center of the turbulence, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed a vast distance.

In the waters near the New Frey Continent, a powerful individual who was cultivating underwater broke free from the seaweed covering his body. Suddenly, a burst of white light erupted from his entire body, and he exclaimed with ecstasy, "It's the aura left behind by Damon!"

The pitch-black seabed suddenly lit up for a moment, illuminating the huge fish and deep trenches around it in perfect detail before returning to normal. But no one knew how far the man who had been cultivating here had already traveled on the seabed!

Near Crimson Frost Island, a large number of second- and third-tier ability users and beasts also discovered this pink beam of light that suddenly appeared and disappeared.

The feeling of unease lingered in their hearts. Although they didn't know what had happened, their instincts drove them toward the cave.

In an instant, nearly a hundred humanoid figures appeared in the air above the nearly abandoned Crimson Frost Island, including several powerful third-tier beings.

At the same time, several chilling roars of beasts rang out.

A thunderbird, blotting out the sky, broke through the clouds, screeching and knocking away many second-tier superhuman warriors who had barely managed to take off.

Third-tier alien beasts already possess sufficient status, and colonists lacking sufficient authority are no longer taken seriously by them.

This was an agreement reached between several fourth-tier alien beasts and the Osiders.

"Roar!"

A Tyrannosaurus Rex with iron horns emerged from the resting forest, roaring as it charged toward the cave.

In the sea, a huge dark shadow approached, and when it reached the shore, it suddenly burst out of the water!

This is a "Pulse Blue Whale," a third-tier creature that can easily float its massive body in the air.

It just prefers to stay in cool water most of the time.

The appearance of three third-tier beasts caused even the third-tier experts to change their expressions.

"Damn it, what is that pink beam of light? It actually attracted all three of them at the same time!"

Normally, powerful beasts of this caliber are only used in crucial battles, but unexpectedly, an anomaly on Crimson Frost Island attracted them all at once.

Not to mention the vast army of strange beasts following behind them.

"It feels like Crimson Frost Island is about to be pushed into the sea!"

"Haha, you're scared? I'm going to go see what kind of treasure this island has that has attracted so many strange beasts!"

“I will go too. Although the beasts are stupid, their sense of magic is much more acute than ours.”

Several Tier 3 ability warriors also increased their flying speed to keep up with the three giant alien beasts.

As the pink beam of light dissipated, Yang Xi and the others regained their freedom.

"Hey, human brat, behave yourself and listen to me, or don't blame me for revealing your human identity!"

Suddenly, the projected words echoed in Yang Xi's mind.

He suddenly looked at the ambiguous smiling projection and thought to himself, "So it really was you behind this, Philosopher's Stone!"

The projection—no, the Philosopher's Stone—was surprised yet somewhat admiring. "When did you, human, discover my identity?"

Yang Xi said, "What are the benefits of telling you?"

Philosopher's Stone: "No."

Yang Xi rolled her eyes at it, "Then what am I supposed to say?"

Actually, he hadn't guessed that this thing was the Philosopher's Stone. He had just been trying to trick it, but it actually admitted it.

But Yang Xi was also somewhat surprised, never expecting that the Philosopher's Stone, which he had been searching for for so long, actually had its own consciousness.

It's unclear whether he originally possessed it or whether some kind of mutation occurred during the time he was sealed by Damon, giving rise to his own consciousness.

This raises questions about the information we just received from the Philosopher's Stone; who knows if it was a lie?

"Hey, Stone, I can cooperate with you, but you at least have to tell me what your purpose is, right?"

"You're so rude, kid. I'm billions of years older than you. It's not too much for you to call me Grandpa Stone, is it?"

"Ahem, according to our human customs, I should call you ancestor, but the question is, are you even human?"

"Tch, fine, don't yell then. Kid, remember this: follow me, and I'll save your life! I bet you're only at the third tier. There are dozens of third-tier experts here! And there will be fourth-tier experts coming too!"

Upon hearing Philosopher's Stone's words, Yang Xi felt a headache coming on. He could handle the third tier, but he had never even seen the fourth tier before, so he was really unsure of himself.

Or should we just slip away now?

When the pink beam of light appeared, he tried to use the spatial anchor point to escape, but Yang Xi found that his connection to the spatial anchor point was blocked.

But now the senses have been restored.

"Never mind, I've never used the rebirth ability I got from my godson, so I'll take this job."

After thinking it through, Yang Xi continued in his mind, "Brother Stone, I'll work for you. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Philosopher's Stone said, "It's simple, just let them fight. The more people die, the happier I am."

"Is it simply to kill these powerful individuals?"

"Otherwise, what's the fun in having people who don't die?"

"Okay, I know this stuff well!"

Yang Xi agreed verbally, but secretly remained on guard.

With his keen sense of dark energy, he could tell that the broken stone had probably been absorbing the energy that had dissipated during their fight.

Its purpose should be to get itself out of trouble!

This perfectly suited Yang Xi's needs. With the Philosopher's Stone still trapped, he was helpless until he could deal with the Alchemy Matrix left behind by Damon.

It's better to let it come out on its own and then absorb it!

317 Who's bullying my nephew Duran? (Two chapters combined into one)

Soon, Yang Xi and his two companions, along with the double-edged assassin, heard a series of beast roars coming from not far away.

The double-edged assassin's expression changed. His identity was shady, and with such a commotion, if the city's powerful figures arrived, he would be in deep trouble!

Tao Te and Majo looked delighted. As a prominent family in Bright City, the Keith family also had some powerful figures on Red Frost Island with whom they had good relations.

One of them, a third-tier ability user known as the "White Snake Sword Master," was a close friend of Duran's father.

Marjo laughed heartily: "Young Master, we're saved!"

Tao Te clutched his stomach, saying weakly, "Once Lord White Serpent arrives, this double-edged assassin will surely die. Lord White Serpent is a powerhouse who is almost at the fourth rank!"

"Hmph, you got lucky this time, but as long as I'm alive, I will never let you go!"

The double-edged assassin glanced at the Philosopher's Stone, hesitated for half a second, then turned and left.

Yang Xi would never let him have his way.

Putting aside his earlier promise to cooperate with the Philosopher's Stone, he wouldn't let the Double-Edged Assassin go, even just because of the connection they had made earlier.

The Philosopher's Stone needs to absorb the power of the strong to help it escape its predicament.

But for Yang Xi, isn't this also an opportunity for development?

Although the tool person in the Heavenly Gang position continuously collects the corpses of strange beasts for him, providing him with dark energy.

But while managing his finances is important, Yang Xi also feels that his primary job shouldn't be neglected.

Now that we have large businesses and empires, we need to use dark energy everywhere, so it's more practical to do a few more big deals and have peace of mind.

"You think you can just hit us and leave? Not so easy! First, ask if Young Master Duran's Dragon Claws will allow it!"

Yang Xi called his two companions to follow, forming a triangle to surround the double-edged assassin!

With his path blocked by the three-headed, blue-eyed, fiery dragon, the double-bladed assassin's face grew increasingly gloomy.

He hadn't wanted to let them go earlier, but now he was the one being treated like a meal.

This feeling was quite unpleasant for someone with such a strong sense of self-esteem.

However, he didn't intend to run away in disgrace; the other dagger was still in Maggio's hands, and he was determined to get it back.

He flipped the dagger over to the unpoisoned side, licked it with his tongue, and said, "Very well, in that case, I'll collect some interest before I leave!"
