It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

But the qualitative change brought by the S-level is indeed terrifying. You want the adjutant lady to do this and see if she can do it? Sorry, I can't do it.

Xu Shi had no doubt that if the combat power could be quantified, a conservative estimate was that Long Tianding alone could surpass the sum of all the people outside the city. At least in terms of destructive power alone, it was obvious that no one could match his two behemoths.

"This... Xu Shi, are you really going to let Grandpa fight him alone?"

Gu Yi couldn't help but worry about Wen Shengkui... She couldn't help but think so. The contrast of the current scene was too strong. Compared with the current Long Tianding, Old Man Wen was as small as dust.

She had heard from Xu the Bastard that her grandfather was extremely powerful, but it didn't look like he could win the fight...

"...Don't be afraid."

Xu Shi was quite relaxed. He patted her on the back and consoled her, "Grandpa can't lose."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see Long Tianding standing on the left?"

"Hmm? What's the explanation?"

"Of course. As the old saying goes, the left side of the ball always loses."

"…┗|｀O′|┛I'm not kidding you!"

Gu Yi was startled, and then hammered him twice on the back, "Seriously, don't tell me you don't have any other skills... Hey?"

As she was talking, she suddenly noticed something.

The earthquake just now was so severe that even they could feel it here, not to mention the first district itself.

But it was just the area near Wen Shengkui, not to mention any cracks, not even a bit of smoke or dust was raised.

The old man himself remained unmoved and as steady as a rock.

"this?"

Miss Black Rabbit was dumbfounded.

Before she could come to her senses, Long Tianding had already ridden the earth dragon and rushed towards Wen Shengkui.

The earth dragon was flying fast, causing stone spikes to rise from the ground, and stone rain filled the sky like shooting stars.

"You, old man, die!"

Long Tianding's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had used his abilities to the extreme.

however.

Just like before, about five or six meters in front of Mr. Wen, all the attacks suddenly weakened and could no longer penetrate even a little deeper.

"I am indeed an old man. As the saying goes, the new generation will always replace the old generation. Maybe one day, I will really be defeated and replaced by someone."

Old Master Wen looked at his helpless and furious expression seriously, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But that person will not be you."

As he spoke, he pulled out his right hand from under the blanket and pressed it lightly.

There is only this one action.

then.

next second.

Everyone saw the two huge earth dragons instantly turned into powder and disappeared!

"!"

Long Tianding himself suddenly lost his support and fell rapidly.

But looking closely, his fall did not seem natural. Instead, it was as if he was being held down by something and he could not even struggle!

During this process, he himself was like an onion. First, his clothes were peeled off piece by piece, and then his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, little by little, turned into ashes at high speed!

When the smoke and dust cleared, there was no trace left on the cracked ground.

Ashes!

"See, I said it, didn't I?"

Xu Shi spread his hands in a relaxed manner, "Don't even mention that the left side loses the match. The one who attacks first is usually the one who will die."

"what……"

Miss Black Rabbit was obviously not recovered from the shock, she just turned her head mechanically and looked at him.

"Um... what kind of ability is this, old man?"

"Well...how can I explain this to you?"

Xu Shi thought about it and said, "It's actually quite troublesome, but to sum it up, it can be summed up in six words."

"?"

"knowledge is power."

I am almost cured, but it feels numb and painful...

I heard that another writing friend also got sick, and the news also said that the recent period has seen a peak in the number of reinfections. Everyone must take care of their health.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 172 Xu Shi, you make me so mad!

Cheese, no, knowledge, is power.

Wen Shengkui's ability is indeed a bit difficult to explain.

But there is a very similar example that can be cited, that is Shenhe.

As we all know, Shen He's "United We Stand" has a hidden effect, that is, the more popularity he gathers, the more people's hearts he wins over, and his own qualities, such as mental strength, physical fitness, etc., will also be strengthened.

Mr. Wen’s ability can also be understood in this way, except that what he needs is not people’s hearts, but knowledge.

The more he learns and the more he understands, the stronger he will become in other aspects. Not to mention that the old man is a scholar and does not need to spend too much extra time and energy to improve himself - this is just a part of his daily life.

Therefore, what Long Tianding had thought before, that "the old man is too old to do anything", did not exist at all. If Wen Shengkui decades ago was a dog with 500 layers, no, the God of Death in the Desert, then now he must be 50,000 layers or more...

Or maybe it's SS level, Xu Shi secretly sighed in his heart. In his opinion, anyway, this is the sage who is holding "Lun Yu" seriously.

Especially since this thing is hard to drop once it is stacked, you can lose people’s hearts, but it is not so easy to throw away the knowledge you have acquired.

Of course, that doesn't mean the old man is completely invulnerable - as an SS-level "Upgrader", he has no fewer complications than Xia Ke'an. For example, his paralyzed legs cannot be restored no matter how much he is stacked... Don't ask why he doesn't use technological means. What can we do if he doesn't want to?

In addition, Wen Shengkui is already in his twilight years, and some decline in his functions is inevitable.

The most fatal of them is "memory decline", which may be the only way to weaken the old man's strength. But even so, he will not be like Shen He, who vomits blood when encountering backlash. The value of his top-level supernatural powers can be seen.

Thinking of this, Xu felt a little regretful. After all, this was no longer the heyday of his grandfather. He had talked to Xia Ke'an before, and the other party had clearly stated that he had seen the old man rubbing fire and attracting lightning with his bare hands, just like the masters in the fairy tale dramas.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he could keep going, Wen Shengkui would have a good chance of breaking through the SS limit and becoming an unprecedented SSS-level "promoter", but unfortunately, there is no if, and the slightest mistake will lead to a regret that can never be made up.

However, even now, without considering the backlash of complications, he still has the ability to overthrow the other five conglomerates on his own and become a big dictator.

It’s just that the old man didn’t have that in mind. What he was thinking about was developing the people’s livelihood and society of the entire city... Including this time, it was because Long Tianding crossed the line first, otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have done this.

“Is this true?”

After his explanation, Gu Yi understood it, and then she shrank her neck uncontrollably.

Wow, is this the old man that I dragged him to play games with before?

Didn't my boss say anything disrespectful to him because he played badly? Guigui, think about it quickly...

"Or I'll let you study more."

The answer to this question was right here, and Xu Shi just scratched her nose jokingly.

"Why don't you learn?"

Miss Black Rabbit muttered a few words, saying that it was really boring to learn those things, so it would be better to just play games with the old man.

“I’m the one who pays you.”

Xu Shi said confidently, "When you finish learning, I can just order you around, right?"

"Don't give me that. If I really had that ability, would I still work for you?" Gu Yi said indignantly.

"So you want to give up?"

"No."

Gu Yi moved closer to his arms and immediately gave in.

Xia Ke'an lay quietly in Xu Shi's arms, blinking her big watery eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

While a few people were joking around, the dust had settled in Sin City.

Or maybe the dust had already settled - although only Long Tianding died, the way he died was a bit too shocking. It was not even enough to say that it was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, it was more like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

How could the others dare to make any small moves? Everyone knew that this gap could not be made up by numbers. The S-level Long Tianding was killed in one move. Even if ten thousand of them were small fry, they would not be enough to fill the gap.

Do you want to disappear in an instant? No. If you don't want to, just stay put. When you are out there, the first priority is to survive. Gang loyalty is nothing.

As he was speaking, Ning Wei reappeared in everyone's sight, holding a guy who looked as pale as death in his hand.

Who else could it be if not Lin Wenhua?

There were a few more black marks on Butler Ning's face, which looked like motor oil? It seemed that all the cyborg killers that Lin Wenhua had left behind for self-protection had been killed by him.

"master."

Ning Wei wiped off the mess, took out the well-behaved little black dog from his arms, handed it to Wen Shengkui, and pretended to be calm and shook off the few dog hairs stuck on the lining.

"Oh?"

Mr. Wen gave him a strange look and asked, "What did I tell you before?"

This little action would definitely not escape his eyes.

"I……"

Ning Wei's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "I...will write my resignation letter when I get back."

"Forget it, never again."

Wen Shengkui suddenly smiled, then closed his eyes and ordered, "Push me back, I'm tired."
