Chapter 130: "Feeding"

“Hoho?”

“You finally couldn’t hold back, huh?”

“You’re finished! You’re as good as dead! Your whole family’s doomed!”

“Once I get out, I’m coming to your house to kill your parents… By the way, do you have a sister?”

Clenching his fingers into claws, tightly gripping the White Jade Seal, Qu Yi sneered darkly, “Just let you watch helplessly, unable to do a thing! Ahahaha!”

He threw a punch, but it was immediately blocked, causing the White Jade Seal to be taken aback!

Although, wary of the onlookers, he dared not reveal his “Particle Bombardment Fist” or “Plasma Punch”—those energy-projection super-limit combat techniques—and could only rely on basic energy-covered martial arts.

Yet, in his “Super Evolution” state, he had already reached the peak physiological data of an F-class super-limit warrior.

This punch alone carried roughly 500 kilograms of force—nearly half a ton of physical impact—almost the maximum a human body structure could exert!

A strike like this wouldn’t just challenge a novice F-class super-limit warrior.

Even formal super-limit warriors above E-class might struggle to withstand it!

After all, not every super-limit warrior evolves toward “strength” and “physical constitution”!

What surprised the White Jade Seal most was that just half a month ago, in Tieting Village, he had briefly sparred with Qu Yi when the latter was only around F6-level!

This meant that although White Jade Seal’s physiological state had surged dramatically over these two weeks, Qu Yi had undergone an equally rapid growth!

But according to Luo Fei and Su Xiaoke, such rapid physiological advancement was almost impossible except in extraordinarily rare cases like White Jade Seal’s.

Unless… Qu Yi was also one of those legendary “supernova individuals” in the super-limit realm?

After awakening, super-limit personnel’s progress varies with their constitution. Rising above F1 within a month is already considered a remarkable talent.

Advancing to F2 in three months, F3 in half a year, F4 in a year—these are normal natural promotion speeds.

But once surpassing F5, no matter the talent, the rate slows exponentially.

Because from F5 upward, each level requires accumulating tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions or tens of millions of super-limit energy units.

This geometric increase in energy demand is far beyond what super-limit individuals can attract, absorb, and store via their own pheromones and ambient X particles in a short time.

That’s why the vast majority of super-limit personnel remain stuck at F-level, unable to advance to E-level or above and become formal super-limit warriors!

This also explains why the Fierce Tiger Squad would tolerate Qu Yi, such a troublemaker constantly stirring up problems.

Despite the lightning-fast thoughts flashing through his mind, White Jade Seal’s movements remained unaffected.

He shook off Qu Yi’s grasp with a tremor of his fist, then relentlessly aimed another strike at the opponent’s face—a face that made him want to spit on it!

“Smack! Smack!” The sounds of punches and palms clashing rang out.

Qu Yi’s once smug expression faded, replaced by surprise and panic as he increasingly failed to keep pace with White Jade Seal’s attacks.

After a few haphazard blocks, he was finally struck on his hastily raised arm, emitting a cry of pain as he staggered backward.

“How dare you hit me?”

“You bastard, you actually dare hit me?”

Qu Yi cowered behind his subordinates, clutching his arm and wailing loudly, “Kill him! Get him for me!”

Two of his capable underlings stepped forward to shield the terrified and flustered Qu Yi.

White Jade Seal did not pursue but snorted disdainfully.

He had thought this Qu Yi was some formidable figure.

Turns out he was just a weakling whose super-limit energy grew rapidly but lacked any real combat experience!

No matter how fast the super-limit energy rose, without corresponding practical experience, he was at best just a super-limit individual who had learned a few fighting techniques.

Super-limit warriors are super-limit individuals, but not all super-limit individuals can become warriors.

White Jade Seal cast a sidelong glance at the other super-limit warriors in Qu Yi’s team.

Though they seemed to be fiercely battling the giant mutated rats, they weren’t delivering lethal blows.

They mostly inflicted injuries to immobilize the rats, preventing any counterattack.

They weren’t just idly toying with them or planning to capture them as pets; they were sparring partners for Qu Yi, “feeding” him during his training!

While this behavior seemed odd, from the perspective of Willy—the black foreigner’s “game theory”—it made sense.

It was like some wealthy players in online games hiring top players as their bodyguards.

They have the elite monsters, far beyond their own strength and experience, weakened to near death, and then swoop in to finish them off and reap the experience.

Some guilds also gather a few experts as their “face” to gain an advantage—a form of cheating in disguise.

But the super-limit realm is not an online game, and no one reports them for “cheating.” If both sides agree, who can intervene?

White Jade Seal suddenly understood.

Why, after six years of X particle infection, most super-limit warriors still lingered at D-level, while a select few had soared to B-level or even A-level?

With the chaotic and unregulated awakenings in the super-limit realm, were there really so many prodigies born with exceptional talent?

That’s the benefit of being in an organization!

If you have good talent and great potential, and the organization values you, then with abundant manpower, resources, and support, they can rapidly forge you into an expert!

Whether Qu Yi was a “supernova individual” or not was uncertain.

But clearly, the Fierce Tiger Squad valued him highly, even at the cost of other members’ growth potential, ensuring his rapid advancement!

This was evident from how Qu Yi was stationed safely at a peripheral camp but allowed to join the main squad into Hualan Mountain’s core area during combat, with a team of strong super-limit warriors assigned to guard him closely.

However, rapid super-limit energy growth did not necessarily mean proportional combat strength.

Fast growth meant a short adaptation period, shaky foundation, and lack of experience—no matter how strong the energy, it was useless!
