Chapter 141
At Level 6, Chen Luo could easily overpower Level 4, a two-level difference. In the early stages, there was a slight possibility for a Level 1 to defeat a Level 3, especially if the Level 3 was inexperienced in combat, like Xia Haoran. However, when it came to Level 4 facing off against Level 6, Chen Luo knew that, apart from those with spatial abilities, others couldnt achieve it.
Chen Luo could effortlessly transcend levels because of several factors. His Void Sword ignored defenses, but the most crucial factor was his mastery of the divine skill, Void Walk. Without Void Walk, even with control over the Void Sword, attempting to take on a Level 6 zombie would reveal why things arent as simple as they seem.
I am the king of the Spatial Element. Who can use spatial abilities against me? Chen Luo sighed in relief. In terms of survivors, he was temporarily invincible.
Ordinary Spatial Element abilities were relatively weak and couldnt compete with other abilities at the same level. Unless they mastered divine skills, their spatial abilities were not much better than those with abilities from the Natural Element.
Chen Luo pondered; perhaps there were many more spatial divine skills waiting for him to discover. However, it wasnt easy. All the Spatial Element ability users who had witnessed Chen Luos use of Void Walk had coveted it, yet none of them had managed to learn it, even to their deaths.
Regardless, Chen Luo had to prioritize mastering the ability to take others with him when using Void Walk. It was his top priority at the moment.
At Level 6, he could use short-distance Void Walk about ten times, and with his full effort, he could perform one long-distance Void Walk of approximately three kilometers. If he were to reach Level 7, he would have a minimum of twenty kilometers per jump, which was a significant leap compared to Level 4.
Holding onto Rice, Chen Luo attempted Void Walk nine times consecutively. He succeeded once, but the other eight attempts failed. Frustrated, he cursed, Damn it, wheres the trick? It seems Ill have to master it through extensive practice.
Meanwhile, at Long Yus group, after absorbing the crystals at night, 34 members had advanced to Level 3, while four were still at Level 2, uncertain when they would reach Level 3.
Six people had died.
A Level 2 survivor said, Long Yu, why dont you guys join Chen Luos base first tomorrow? You dont have to wait for us. By going earlier, you can also get your official status sooner.
Long Yu contemplated for a moment and said, Heres the plan: Tomorrow, all the Level 3 members will join, and Ill stay behind to help the remaining brothers level up.
Some of the members couldnt help but show signs of joy. Constantly wandering outside wasnt an ideal situation, leaving them feeling insecure and living in poor conditions.
A young man with glasses, his face fair and clean, adjusted his glasses and said, Though our numbers may be small, we can consider ourselves elites. If we were to join other bases, who wouldnt be overjoyed?
I believe we have the qualifications to negotiate some terms. We have only four Level 2 members, while the rest are Level 3 elites. If they agree to take our yet-to-reach-qualification brothers together, wouldnt that be acceptable?
Long Yu is a Level 4, so they wont deny us this little favor, will they? If they insist on rigid rules without flexibility, I might reconsider joining.
The others found these points reasonable.
Long Yus eyes also lit up, and he nodded, saying, Youre right. Its getting late today. Tomorrow morning, well give it a try.
In the central courtyard, ten large iron pots were set up, each filled with noodles. The logistics team provided each of Long Yus group with a big bowl, and they queued up for their beef noodle soup.
Even before they got their noodles, the aroma of the beef noodle soup had already wafted into their noses, making Long Yus group unable to resist swallowing saliva.
It smelled so good.
Finally, it was Long Yus groups turn. The member in charge of serving the soup smiled and said, Finish your meal first, then we can talk. Here, we may not have much else, but we certainly dont skimp on food.
The noodles werent made by Ma Yu, but she personally prepared the soup.
The members didnt bother taking the food inside; they sat by the roadside, enjoying the cool morning weather as they ate.
Long Yu had three large bowls in a row and still wanted more. It wasnt about having strong abilities; at this stage, they could only expect to eat a bit more, but Long Yu gave this beef noodle soup a full score and didnt mind spoiling its pride.
Some even shed tears.
These noodles are so delicious; Im really worried that we wont get to eat like this in the future.
Looking at Long Yu who still wanted to eat more but hesitated to get another serving, Chen Guang approached him with a smile and said, Its truly unlimited; eat as much as you want.
Long Yu felt a bit shy but decided to rejoin the queue after Chen Guangs encouraging words.
Long Yu hesitated, feeling embarrassed about eating so much at once.
While he was in line, a black dog passed by. People nearby greeted it, saying, Hello, Elder Dog. Youve worked hard, Elder Dog.
As the Thunderbolt King surveyed the surroundings, he nodded in acknowledgment. Why wasnt everyone calling him? Did someone disrespect him? The Elder had the authority to kick people out, so there must be a reason. Otherwise, he could lose his position.
Someone nudged Long Yu and said, Call Elder Dog if you dont want any trouble here.
Long Yu was taken aback; was this the same lightning-element dog that had effortlessly defeated Ye Gaofei?
Long Yu quickly said, Hello, Elder Dog.
In his heart, Long Yu thought this was quite amusing, as if it had a hidden meaning akin to scolding someone. The Thunderbolt King was now satisfied and left the base, because the dog had to work hard to earn points.
