"Besides, there's still my grandpa!"
Lu Siya's smile became even more mysterious. "What do you think my grandfather would think if he knew that his beloved granddaughter, who inherited all of his blood and awakened to the exact same power as him, was targeted by the enemy he has been fighting for decades and is now a notorious monster? What do you think he would do?"
Meng Chao came to a realization.
"In any case, the benefits of offending Iron Tyrant Shen Yuanbao far outweigh the disadvantages," Lu Siya concluded.
"First, the Shen family has always been the Lu family's competitor. Countless members of the Lu family and employees of Sky Pillar Corporation have died in Shen Yuanbao's hands for some unknown reason, and that vengeful old man is certain that Shen Yulong died in our hands. He wouldn't have let us go, so it doesn't matter whether we offend him or not.
"Second, this old man is notorious in the circle. He has far more enemies than friends. If we become his enemies, it'll be easier for us to form connections with the higher-ups. After all, those who have the right to become Shen Yuanbao's enemies are definitely not ordinary people, right?
"Third, if we publicly offend the older generation of the Shen family, it'll be easier for the Lu family to gather all their resources on me. Even if we have to put on airs, the Lu family will have to set up a brand new name for us. From this moment onwards, I won't just be representing myself, I'll also be representing the Lu family's reputation and Sky Pillar Corporation's image.
"Even if there's an open attack from within the family, it'll be impossible for them to shoot me in the back at this moment. If I do that, it'll be the same as betraying the family.
"Fourth, now that I've reached the peak of Heaven Realm, I need a domineering old monster like him. He can use the threat of death to stimulate all my potential!"
When Meng Chao heard this, he could not help but sigh in relief.
Big Sis Ya was really a person who would look three steps ahead when she took one step forward. She would never suffer any losses.
"Since you know what you're doing, that's good," Meng Chao said.
"No matter how many benefits you have, provoking a Deity Realm superhuman is no small matter. If you run into Shen Yuanbao one day, you'll be crippled before you can fulfill the benefits you mentioned. That'll be the saying that you'll be the victim of your own ingenuity."
"That's true."
Lu Siya nodded. A thought appeared in her head, and she grinned. "It's fine. I still have you!"
"Me?"
Meng Chao quirked his nose.
"That's right. Don't think that I can't tell that you've made great progress in your training in the second ruin, haven't you?"
She sniffed him seriously for a long time before she said with a smile, "If my instincts are correct, you're only one step away from becoming a six-star spirit armor warrior. Besides, your spirit energy reserves are also really great. As long as you manage to become a six-star spirit armor warrior, there's a high possibility that you'll reach the peak of Heaven Realm in one go, just like me!"
Meng Chao was shocked.
He did not expect that Lu Siya's senses would be so sharp.
It should be noted that he had just reached the Five Star Spiritual Vision Stage two to three months ago when he was preparing to carry out the mission to explore the Hidden Fog Desolate Domain.
Even that breakthrough was only possible with Battle God Lei Zongchao's help.
In the eyes of others, it was just a coincidence and heaven-defying luck.
Therefore, no one could have imagined that in just a few short months, he would once again stand at the crossroads of breaking through the limits of life.
Only Lu Siya …
"Stop pretending. Is it fun to pretend to be weak in front of me?"
Lu Siya said with a smile. "Don't forget, we were attacked by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals at the same time. Our vitality magnetic fields are becoming increasingly similar. You might be able to hide it from others, but can you hide it from me?
"I just reached a brand new realm, and I happily ran over to you to tell you the good news. Unlike you, you're still hiding it. How boring."
"I'm not hiding it."
Meng Chao's face turned red, and he could only say, "Even though there's only a thin line between us, it's not something that can be broken just because you want to. Many of the talented and successful young elites reach five-star spirit vision realm smoothly, but then, they stop moving forward. For years or even decades, when they grow old and their old injuries act up, they still can't take even half a step forward. This is something that happens all the time."
"That's for others, not a monster like you," Lu Siya said.
"Over this period of time, I've been digesting the secrets of the ancient era and the newest research results in Ruins No. 2, so I didn't have time to train with you. Since I've already reached six-star spirit armor realm, I can solve your problem. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!
"By the way, my dad also wants to talk to you. He believes that you're the reason why I was able to reach where I am today. If it weren't for what you did under Raging Waves, I would have been reduced to ashes by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami a long time ago. I wouldn't have been able to awaken to my bloodline and reach the peak of Heaven Realm!
"That's why my dad meticulously prepared a great gift for you.
"You know that over the past few days, Sky Pillar Minerals has dug out a lot of unique treasures from the perimeter of Hidden Fog and Ruins No. 2. These are treasures that even Battle God Palace might not be able to find. Instead of letting those good-for-nothings and ingrates in the family benefit from them, it would be better for me to give them to you!
"After all, if you can really break through this barrier and reach the peak of Heaven Realm in one go, we'll be working together since we're both at the peak of Heaven Realm who aren't even thirty years old yet and have limitless futures. Even if we run into Iron Tyrant Shen Yuanbao, who's a Deity Realm superhuman who already has one foot in the grave, we won't have to be afraid of him. No matter how chaotic Dragon City is, we'll be able to do whatever we want!"
Meng Chao could hear the underlying meaning in Lu Siya's words.
"Big Sis Ya, do you also think that Dragon City is becoming more chaotic today?" he asked worriedly.
"Of course. After all, our greatest enemy has already fallen, and the new enemy hasn't appeared yet. We're fighting for the monster civilization's legacy and the right to rule Dragon City in the future. Isn't it normal for things to be a little chaotic?"
Lu Siya did not have Meng Chao's air of worrying about the country and its people.
In fact, she looked like she just wanted the world to be in chaos.
"I know what you're worried about, but there's no need for you to be overly worried."
Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao and said, "No matter how chaotic Dragon City is now, it's still much better than decades ago when order was broken and we were in a lawless, bloody era." Even during that chaotic era where the strong preyed on the weak and the victors were kings, our civilization didn't go from decline to destruction. "On the contrary, that was the start of Dragon City officially turning from a pure technological civilization to a spirit energy technological civilization. It was also an era where countless powerful fighters rose to power." Right now, practically all the Deity Realm superhumans grew up during the bloody trials during the chaotic era. From this, it's clear that for a civilization, being a little chaotic isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"The simplest question is, if Dragon City isn't in chaos, will the new generation superhumans like us have the chance to rise to the top and stand above the clouds to look down on the land?"
Meng Chao could sense the flames of Lu Siya's ambition spreading toward him like tentacles in an attempt to bind him.
He frowned and said, "An appropriate amount of internal competition is definitely necessary, but Dragon City can't continue being in chaos. After all, no one knows just what sort of enemies exist in the depths of the Other World and whether there is an even more terrifying threat than the monster civilization."
"Of course. The chaos right now is just the bosses testing each other before they sit down to negotiate. I believe that as long as they come to an agreement on the new profit distribution ratio and method, in a few days, Dragon City will be united again."
"And what we need to do is seize this rare window. Before the brand new order solidifies, we have to do everything we can to cultivate, expand, and climb up. We have to climb to a place where no one can control us. Instead, we'll be able to control Dragon City and the future!"
Even though Meng Chao agreed with Lu Siya.
However, he still felt that the Queen Bee's ambition was burning more and more intensely.
This caused him, who was very close to her, to subconsciously narrow his eyes.
They arrived at the temporary hospital.
Even though it was a hospital, it was actually a research center that researched all sorts of abnormal phenomena.
It might have looked simple and crude, but it was just dozens of silver inflatable tents stacked on top of each other.
But the best doctors, biochemical specialists, and life science specialists in Dragon City were gathered here. They also had the best research equipment.
Treating a case of Qi deviation was naturally a piece of cake.
However, after they performed in-depth treatment on Ma Hong, Shen Yukun, and the other superhumans who lost control, the specialist group noticed that things were not as simple as they seemed.
As the people involved and people who were in close contact with the superhumans who lost control, Meng Chao and Lu Siya naturally had the right to follow up on the treatment of these cases.
Two hours later, they stood outside the isolation ward and saw a few superhumans who were tied up and locked in medical cabins through the reinforced glass window.
These superhumans had already been injected with a lot of tranquilizers and even hibernation drugs. Their blood had practically frozen, and a layer of white frost had formed on their skin.
But their rapidly spinning eyeballs and heaving chests showed that they were still in a very unstable state.
When they scanned their cerebral cortex and vitality magnetic fields, the colorful spirit energy magnetic field images proved this point.
They were like volcanoes that had temporarily frozen on the surface of magma, and they might erupt at any moment.
When the doctors used the nerve patches connected to their temples to input the logo of their competitors into their optic nerves, their brainwaves surged like a flood that had broken a dam.
This meant that the knot in their hearts had yet to be resolved.
Instead, it formed something like a mental demon that severely interfered with and even controlled their emotions and thoughts.
'How could this be?'
This medical conclusion puzzled Meng Chao. 'Even if they had some … disagreements because of the ownership of strategic resources, there isn't any deep-seated hatred between them. Is there a need for them to be so stubborn that they won't stop until one of them dies?'
