"You also claim to be a Pond-level powerhouse, so shouldn't you know how strong we're supposed to be?" jabbed the System mercilessly at Fang Ning.
Although it had obtained 3, 000, 000, 000 experience points, as well as a living soul with a potentially big secret, it still missed and complained about the treasure in the propaganda report.
"Well, I'm much stronger than them so I would be able to escape at least, " Fang Ning argued before quickly straining his neck like an ostrich to look at the System Notification.
[The System used Space Diversion Skill and chased after the fleeing evil Lunarians. ]
[The System used Heavensward Sword Technique 'This Day Next Year is Your Memorial Day', triggered Crit, Fatalistic Strike, and Defense Break. Killed Lunarian A. ]
[The System used Heavensward Sword Technique 'Three Inches of Grass Growing From Your Grave Mound', triggered Crit, Fatalistic Strike, and Defense Break. Killed Lunarian B. ]
[The System used Heavensward Sword Technique 'You Are Already Dead', triggered Crit, Fatalistic Strike, and Defense Break. Killed Lunarian C. ]
[The System captured Lunarian D. ]
"Sir, your naming sense is getting more flashy..." Fang Ning said in admiration.
"Not bad, right? Each of these three moves kills in one blow. There's a three-in-one effect. Without experience in battlefield training, they won't be able to withstand a single move even if their strength is equal to mine, " the System said proudly.
Fang Ning immediately felt a great deal of pressure. He never thought that the combat genius would have secretly evolved such an amazing trump card. This would really cause him to... Lose motivation...
"So do we go back now?" Although Fang Ning said so, he always felt that things would not end so easily. In fact, it could be said that this was only the beginning.
"No, there's still a big one that hasn't come out yet, " Sir System refuted him immediately, just as he had expected.
Hearing this, Fang Ning hurriedly checked the situation outside from the System View.
There, he saw layers of gray dust floating around the reddish-brown surface. At first, it looked like it was simply doing the Brownian movement, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be outlining something instead.
"Hiss..." After watching for a while, Fang Ning immediately came to a realization.
"That's a summoning array. Looks like a huge devil is coming!" Fang Ning exclaimed.
"Hehe, is that so. That's great, " said the System excitedly.
"This place isn't covered by Daddy Axiom so be careful not to capsize, " Fang Ning reminded.
"Watch your mouth. Do you think I'm the same as you? Am I the kind of System who loses my awesomeness just because I left Daddy Axiom?" expressed the System in dissatisfaction.
As the two conversed, the maroon surface of Mars began to rumble. Pieces of land were violently lifted as if a large monster was slowly coming out from the ground.
Fang Ning quickly ran to Anderson's office to tell them to watch what was unfolding as he gave him a live explanation.
From the big screen, there were already signs of a large monster; a rock-shaped monster slowly emerging from the ground.
"This rock monster should be a strength and defensive type player. Its mobility will not be high, so it should be greatly restrained by the Venerable One, " Anderson immediately asserted upon seeing the screen.
"Is that so? My instincts are telling me that the situation isn't that simple. After all, the enemy isn't a game NPC." Fang Ning was not innocent anymore. He had doubts in his heart.
"Ah, of course, that's only the general situation." Seeing how their attempt to flatter failed, they quickly amended, "Perhaps it has a special natural trait, or maybe an unknown ability that makes up for that defect. However, with the Venerable One's courage and prowess, I believe it won't be anything difficult."
"Hm, you're right." Fang Ning was assured.
Sure enough, the rock-shaped rock monster immediately transformed upon standing up.
Its body suddenly exploded before separating into countless meteoroid belts of varying sizes, which then grouped together in the shape of a ring!
These ring-shaped meteors moved slowly in midair above the ground.
Then, from the vast annular meteoroid belt, a cold voice spoke.
"Lackey of the Earth's Heavenly Axiom, you really did come all the way here just for a few experience points... Hahaha, you greedy human. You're doomed to pay the price for the insatiable Heavenly Axiom!"
Vigilante A only said lightly, "Greed makes people motivated to advance, while satisfaction only causes one to become decadent..."
"Ugh..." The meteoroid belt was immediately rendered speechless for a long while.
A System Notification then appeared, [The System successfully used Verbal Ability to attack the Ring Lunar Devil. Fighting spirit reduced, fighting capacity reduced. ]
Fang Ning could not help but praise the System after hearing this, "Sir, your words are getting more and more amazing..."
"Not bad, right? I extracted this essence after summing up the quotes of many wise men, " the System said, pleased.
"Alright, I won't bother your battle anymore. This conversation is over." Fang Ning quickly said.
Then, Vigilante A started to move.
A thousand foot Azure Dragon suddenly appeared within the universe!
The Azure Dragon was mighty and stern, and every scale on its body emitted a powerful aura.
As expected, this was an Inland-Sea level powerhouse!
"Hiss... This is impossible, how can your true power be this strong?! Could it be that the Earth's Heavenly Axiom also limited your power before?!
"That's not right. You're the Son of the Heavenly Axiom. If it didn't restrict the Spirit Bear's power, why would it restrict yours?
"Could it be that you paid for benefits, but the Earth's Heavenly Axiom doesn't even exist here?"
Questions started coming one by one from the ring.
"I also want to ask Daddy Axiom that question..." The System did not retort this time and only said resentfully to Fang Ning.
"What's going on? Didn't you tell me before that you're at the peak of Lake-level now? How could your strength have suddenly risen to Inland-Sea level? I didn't see any System Notifications saying that you improved your ability, " Fang Ning was also astonished.
"Can't I reach Inland-sea level without improving my ability? Do you think I only know how to waste money? My abilities now are all thanks to my cultivating 24/7! It's just that my strength was restricted by Daddy Axiom and I was unable to use it, just like the other cultivators, " said the System in dissatisfaction.
"No wonder you rushed over to Mars the moment you heard that there was a treasure here. It wasn't just because you had a way back. More importantly, you knew that you could fully liberate the strength you accumulated while cultivating!" Fang Ning finally realized.
"Oh, you guessed it again. That's exactly right, " the System was pleased, "Today, I'll let you see the true power of an Inland-sea Level powerhouse! You can judge for yourself whether it's worth it to continue investing in..."
While the first part was very imposing, the latter part was very System-like...
Fang Ning was speechless.
Then, he experienced the shock of his life!
Sure enough, after the System fully released its true strength, the results were absolutely frightening!
"Wu..." The Azure Dragon started with a drawn-out tune and coiled its body.
A true 'Tail Wagging Dragon God', the thousand-foot body turned upside down and viciously charged towards the revolving ring-shaped meteoroid belt!
Bursts of light appeared from the rock rings in a bid to block the dragon tail attack!
In the next instant, Fang Ning witness the true power of an Inland-sea level powerhouse!
A blue sea faintly appeared behind the dragon's body!
Layer upon layer, countless waves gushed out in an overwhelming torrent!
"Divine Blessing Attack?!" An astonished voiced broke out from the ring meteoroid belt.
The sea poured down, and the lights were extinguished. Countless rocks split and shattered!
A fatal blow!
Fang Ning was dumbstruck!
He finally knew the true power of an Inland-sea level powerhouse!
That stupid bear did not know how to exert even one percent of its strength!
It did not know just how terrifying its true abilities were!
How Daddy Axiom loved it!
The gap between the lazy and the diligent was huge. Even with the same natural traits, and the same strength, the latter could produce such an effect. It was far superior to the former!
