What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

If it weren't for her wealthy family background and the fact that she had a lot of alien beast weapons in her storage bag, she probably wouldn't even be able to defeat a C-level ability user.

You should know that Qian Duoduo's biological father and second uncle are both incredibly powerful figures. If they stomp their feet, even the seas of the Free Alliance would tremble.

She... also wanted to become truly strong so that she could protect her family, instead of hiding under the wings of her grandfather and Sister You Rong and continuing to be that clueless little girl.

Yang Xi smiled and shook his head; he had seen through Qian Duoduo's thoughts.

Although he would consider giving the Qian family some "superpower potions" to enhance the combat power of some allies, his preferred candidate was actually Ji Yourong.

This girl already possesses formidable superpowers; if she were given an offensive superpower as well, she would undoubtedly grow into a fearsome assassin-type superpower user.

As for Qian Duoduo, her personality is still a bit too unconventional, and it feels like even if she were given superpowers, she wouldn't be able to fully unleash their potential.

However, it depends on the situation.

Yang Xi is very fair and will not give the "superpower potion" to the Qian family for free. Naturally, he will make the same equivalent exchange as Liu Yuan.

The Qian family helped him clear obstacles in the four sea areas, and he paid them with "superpower drugs".

Reasonable exchange rules are the foundation for peaceful coexistence between two forces.

"I'll start now, watch carefully."

Yang Xi took the wolf-hair brush and, in order to conceal his true actions, began to manipulate it with various complex "rituals." In the end, he finally extracted the dark energy cube from the wolf-hair brush... With only a mere thirty units of dark energy cube, it would have been better to leave it as it was.

Yang Xi naturally wouldn't let the three of them see these dark energy cubes; he absorbed them into his body as he peeled them off.

After using his light elemental ability to create a fleeting flash of light on the surface of the Star Absorbing Ring, Yang Xi handed the hollowed-out wolf-hair brush to Old Qian.

"I would like to ask Mr. Qian to verify whether what I just said is true."

Qian Bukui solemnly accepted the beast equipment handed to him by Yang Xi.

This was the first time since he created this little gadget that he had ever felt the importance of the wolf-hair brush.

It was as if this wasn't a D-grade beast equipment, but a three-star S-grade treasure.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

After all, what he was about to verify was new knowledge that could overturn existing theories in the alchemical world, so he had no choice but to be cautious.

"Then I will be presumptuous."

Mr. Qian nodded gratefully to Yang Xi. Logically speaking, this Rooster had no need to prove anything to them, but he did it anyway.

Grandpa Qian immersed himself in the process, and the internal structure of the small wolf-hair brush became crystal clear under his mental observation.

The alchemical matrix he created by hand was still intact, but the vitality on the wolf-hair brush had completely disappeared.

Upon witnessing this scene, Mr. Qian's hands trembled with excitement!

This... this active ingredient can actually be collected!

In alchemy, this is absolutely a groundbreaking development!

"Your Excellency Rooster, if I may be so bold as to ask again, can the collected vital energy be incorporated into other alien beast organizations?"

Yang Xi naturally knew what Qian Bukui was up to. If his plan could be implemented, then Yang Xi's cooperation with the Qian family would allow them to continuously produce even more outrageous beast equipment.

They could even create Seven-Star S-Rank Beast equipment, which only exists in theory. Once they possessed this technology, the Qian family and the Judgment Alliance would have an absolutely superior position in the four sea regions.

Unfortunately, the dark energy that Yang Xi extracted could only be used to upgrade the Ability Bead, and the Ability Bead could only be placed inside a living being.

Therefore, this reverse operation is impossible.

Yang Xi shook his head and said, "Apart from that person in the organization, we can't actually see the existence of superpower factors. We just use the Star Absorbing Ring to collect superpower factors and then send them back to the organization to give to that person to make superpower potions."

"We have never tried to transfer the supernatural energy back to the active materials of the alien beasts. After all, our organization does not have any members who are highly skilled in alchemy."

"So unfortunately, we can't do it."

Yang Xi's words implied a hint of recruiting him.

However, Qian Bukui could not join other organizations. As the patriarch of the Qian family and the nominal head of the Fanhai Chamber of Commerce, he could not become an external member of the Judgment without any scruples, just like Qian Duoduo and Ji Yourong.

However, he thought of another way.

As a leading figure in the field of alchemy, he was genuinely interested in the "active transfer" technique.

Qian Bukui knew that the judge wouldn't be able to reveal the secrets of the "Star-Absorbing Ring" in a short time, but he could give the judge his knowledge of alchemy.

For him, as long as the "active transfer" technology can be achieved, it doesn't matter who owns the technology.

Perhaps this is what it means for a "scientist" to be so obsessed with a theory.

Old Master Qian said, "I wonder if Your Excellency Youji would be interested in seeing my accumulated knowledge in alchemy over the years? It would be a way of repaying you for answering my questions."

Should I learn alchemy? And from a master craftsman no less? Only a fool would refuse.

Yang Xi didn't actually want to learn how to make equipment; he just felt that the knowledge of alchemy and his superpowers were somewhat similar.

Unlike him, who was figuring things out as he went, alchemy, which had developed over several decades, had gradually formed a set of theories thanks to the research of countless geniuses.

Yang Xi smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more."

……

Blanche watched the approaching dragon, who had already completed the first stage of his transformation and still had a bit of Crimson Lotus Gunner's blood on him.

“I can give you time to call the Rooster out. You know, I don’t want to lay a hand on you, after all, we were friends back in our student days.”

Blanche sneered, "You don't want to fight me? What a big mouth. The reason I lost in the semifinals of that year's Superpower Tournament was because this idiot used up too much of my energy in the quarterfinals. Your opponent isn't that tough."

The dragon laughed and said, "Sometimes luck is also a part of strength. For example, right now, you are not at your peak, while I am maintaining my full strength."

Black demonic flames erupted from the dragon's body. "You don't expect me to give you a little more time to recover your strength, do you?"

145 Kunlun is now in your hands!

Just as the two were about to draw their swords, the wandering swordsman suddenly interjected, "Demon Dragon, you know her? Could it be that I really am her opponent from the Eight Battles?"

The Demon Dragon glanced at his brother. Knowing the Wandering Swordsman as he did, he knew why his brother couldn't remember. He said coldly, "She had short hair back then, and... she wasn't as well-developed as she is now!"

"I see! Then you two continue, I won't disturb you any longer."

The wandering swordsman quickly rolled to the side.

Given the dragon's personality, it's impossible for him to join forces against Blanche. Besides... the Swordsman is too lazy to take action. Isn't it better to just slack off?

To be honest, he really enjoys his life lately. He can earn a decent salary from Kunlun Entertainment without having to work hard. Although he doesn't have many fans, they are quite interesting and often create various memes for him.

In their spare time, they can watch short movies, eat snacks, play games, and occasionally go for a drive.

No one urges him to do anything, he's not in a relationship, he doesn't have to call his girlfriend every night, he doesn't have to rack his brains to prepare gifts for holidays, and he doesn't have to deal with girls' random "drama". What a great life!

"The Wandering Swordsman came, and then he left again." The Hat King was so confused by the Wandering Swordsman's actions that he almost stammered. "But seeing these three appear at the same time reminds me of that star-studded Global Superpower Conference back then. Time flies, and the students who competed on stage have all become heroes we can trust."

"Of course, many of the once-famous students went astray or died fighting against the invasion of alien beasts."

Seeing that the "Hat King" was sighing, fearing that he might say something outrageous that would implicate his hand, Coach Ge quickly changed the subject.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the dragon is going to have a one-on-one fight with Blanche."

"Although I think the heroes present should work together to capture the sealed sword to prevent it from causing even greater destruction."

"But since it wasn't a fight against a massive monster, the heroes didn't choose to gang up on it. This was because unfamiliar cooperation would only hinder each other and give the sealing sword an opportunity to strike."

"We should also have confidence in the dragon. Judging from the recent mission records, the dragon is undoubtedly stronger than the Sealing Sword. Moreover, Blanche's physical strength is not at its peak, but her magic power is at its maximum. This incident should be over soon."

"The only thing we need to think about is that the dragon will finish the battle in a few minutes."

Coach Ge's analysis was correct. Judging from the current situation, even if others don't intervene, the Sealing Sword has no chance of winning.

Blanche said, "Dragon, do you really think I killed the Stars and Stripes Cloak?"

The Demon Dragon said, "Otherwise what? Wasn't this officially released by the Knights of the Round Table agency?"

"Heh, as the son of the Mechanical Warrior, don't you know there's something fishy going on here?"

"There might be something fishy going on, but the reason I took action against you wasn't because you 'betrayed' the Knights of the Round Table Company, but because of your relationship with Rooster and the others."

"Do you really believe I colluded with this mysterious organization?"

The dragon nodded and said, "At first I was only skeptical, but when you appeared in this place where the Rooster had once been, I think it's pretty much true. You're not going to try to deny it, saying you just happened to be passing by, are you? Your purpose here... is to find the Rooster!"

Blanche smiled bitterly to herself. What the dragon said wasn't wrong. She had indeed come here to try her luck and see if she could meet the Rooster and ask about the blue powder.

However, the dragon misunderstood the key point; she had not colluded with any mysterious organization beforehand.

Even if we use her as leverage, the Rooster won't show up, right?

At that moment, Blanche suddenly thought of the taciturn Serpent. If I were really his companion, I might not be suffering so much.

Blanche insisted that she really didn't know any mysterious organization, but now no one believed her. Even the high-ranking executive in the company who fabricated the story that she colluded with a mysterious organization probably felt that her lies, which she had framed, were actually true.

I never imagined that a pretty little girl like you would actually do such a disloyal thing.

Blanche raised her Horcrux, pointed it at the dragon, and said, "There's no point in saying more. If you want to fight, then fight! I'll let you know just how much of an advantage you had to gain to defeat me back then."

"Then I'll wait and see."

The golden eyes lit up, and the demonic dragon vanished instantly.

A flash of blue light emanated from Blanche, and she too rushed forward to meet the attack.

Two former prodigies clash once again; it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!

……

Kunlun Company.

Mechanical Warrior and Glacier Warrior watched the fierce battle between Blanche and the Demon Dragon on the screen.

The dragon's body was covered in black scales, enveloped in demonic flames, its muscles were bulging, and its height had increased dramatically.

Blanche's body flashed with light as she broke various seals, and the petite Blanche used her agility to constantly attack the dragon from its side.

If a sword that has broken the seal of power were to strike the demonic dragon, it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.

The dragon's fist, imbued with demonic flames, was difficult to strike Blanche, and even if she couldn't dodge it, Blanche would use her earthen-yellow defensive seal to block it.

The situation reached a stalemate, but because Blanche was in poor condition from the start, the balance of victory was rapidly tilting towards the dragon.

"That kid Demon Dragon is too arrogant, he's nothing like me."

Mechanical Warrior sighed a bit. His two sons, Demon Dragon and Demon Dragon, were very talented, but their personalities were rather straightforward. They might become powerful heroes, but if they were to inherit the Kunlun Company, their temperaments would need to be tempered.

In terms of personality, he actually admired his youngest son more. Liu Yuan was thick-skinned and shameless, and he was also flexible and ruthless at crucial moments. Once he had a solid foundation of strength, his future achievements would definitely surpass those of the straightforward Demon Dragon.
