Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

No one spoke on the specially designed psionic speedboat; only the buzzing of its psionic engine could be heard.

This thing is incredibly fast, practically a supercar on the sea, leaving a trail on the water's surface that takes several seconds to heal.

The development of science has many directions, and the Mystic Bureau has profound expertise in psionic machinery, psionic electronics, and psionic semiconductors. But it's not that no one is researching other directions.

For example, psionic firearms, made from psionic metals, then enchanted, inscribed, consecrated, or baptized. This is one direction.

Some people even focused on improving ammunition, creating things like the Psionic Lightning Gun and the Psionic Freeze Bomb. Zhao Hao had used them before.

There are also those who practice supernatural powers and spiritual enhancements, the most typical being those cowboys from the West.

There are many paths even within the small category of psionic firearms, not to mention others.

For example, some people don't study the "electronic" approach of psionic semiconductors.

They felt the output wasn't explosive enough.

Therefore, they took a unique approach to researching psionic fuels, using special processes and methods to mix psionic energy into certain special fuels, resulting in an extremely terrifying energy transformation.

If this thing weren't so difficult to control and had such a high failure rate that ordinary people couldn't use it at all, it might have been a viable option.

The speedboat under Zhao Hao and his group was fueled by psionic energy.

This stuff is incredibly powerful; if accidentally activated, just a few drops can cause a massive explosion. It requires a special process to use, so it's not easily made widely available.

There's a widely circulated joke about the development of this thing.

It's said that two of the Black Iron Prodigies from the three space agencies that were leading the research on psionic fuel got drunk and drank the psionic fuel sample that was supposed to be tested the next day. They even said it was powerful when they drank it!

The next day, one pilot called the other and asked, "Are you awake?"

You're awake. What's wrong?

If you wake up, whatever you do, try not to fart!

Why?

Because I was in Texas this morning, and just because I farted, my butt started shooting blue flames... Now I'm in San Francisco!

……

Zhao Hao and the other four became alert, carefully observing their surroundings. The inner world was, after all, different from the outer world.

In the real world, Bronze is the pinnacle. Even if someone stronger than you exists, killing you won't be easy. You could say: The world is vast and there's always a place to go.

However, things are different in the Otherworld. During the period when psionic energy began to subside, some gods and other ancient beings hid in the Otherworld.

Although the period of psychic dormancy was too long and had too great an impact, even the level of psychic energy in the underworld declined drastically, and the gods completely disappeared.

Some say that some of them took a gamble and left this world to explore other worlds.

Some say that certain beings have fallen into a deep sleep using secret methods, awaiting the future.

Those who left, their fate is unknown, so let's not discuss that. As for those who slept, if they didn't perish in their slumber, haven't they now awaited spring?

Therefore, the Inner World theoretically does contain Silver-level beings. Even if one isn't unlucky enough to encounter a Silver-level being, the probability of encountering a Bronze-level transcendent being is quite high.

Zhao Hao and his group are all top-tier figures in the surface world, acting with impunity. However, in the inner world, the number of bronze-level experts has surged, making it less safe.

"Look!" Zhao Hao exclaimed from a distance.

Countless colorful flying fish pierced the sea surface like arrows, creating a rainbow-like ribbon several kilometers long.

The colorful flying fish gathered together, their spiritual energy merging to form a magnificent illusion, as if the rainbow were a bridge leading to a beautiful fairyland.

All five of them watched with rapt attention, and some even felt an urge to find out more.

Less than a minute later, the rainbow bridge disappeared because a narwhal, tens of meters long, chased after the school of fish and suddenly leaped out of the water, performing a somersault and soaring through the air, even carrying a cloud of white clouds, flapping its fins and flying into the sky! The seawater that fell was like a rain!

"It flew away!" Xiluo's eyes widened, and he stammered.

That cloud-sea narwhal was actually a Bronze 2-star extraordinary creature. After feasting on a colorful flying fish, it actually took to the sky.

The five of them looked at each other, all feeling shocked. They, once powerful bronze-level players, had suddenly become nothing special, if not completely worthless.

In this world, psionic energy is recovering faster, so wouldn't those extraordinary beings or species grow even faster?

Zhao Hao pondered, "No wonder the extraordinary races in the inner world have been so restless in the last year or two! Their strength has increased dramatically, they're certainly ambitious!"

In the past year or two, the barriers between the inner and outer worlds have started to overlap and break more and more, and things from this world might end up in the outer world at any time.

What if that narwhal, which was tens of meters long in the cloud sea, were to reach the surface world? These things can fly hundreds or thousands of miles at a time. Would we have to use air-to-air or sea-to-air missiles?

Bronze-level superhumans have become increasingly resistant to thermal weapons, making physical damage less effective. It's like how werewolves and vampires can be killed by a Gatling gun, but ordinary pistols and rifles are rarely effective, and even a silver-plated military knife is more efficient.

Zhao Hao felt that even if missiles were used, they could only injure the cloud sea narwhal at most. Killing it without at least seventeen or eighteen missiles was simply a pipe dream!

After speeding across the sea for about an hour, Zhao Hao and his group's "arrogant" behavior attracted several attacks.

One of them was a great white shark that wanted a change of pace. It was over six meters long and could swallow three people with one mouth!

Its body is covered with a layer of water-attribute spiritual energy, and a layer of flowing water protects it. Not only is it extremely fast at swimming, but it also has amazing defensive capabilities.

Despite being a level 5 Black Iron monster, it managed to withstand Prada's "God's Claw" attack and still struggle.

They were attacked by supernatural creatures several times afterward, but the most dangerous one was by a wind-breaking sailfish.

I don't know what I did to offend it, maybe the speedboat was too fast and too loud?

This thing started accelerating from several hundred meters away, and by the time it burst out of the sea and stabbed the speedboat with the long spear in its mouth, it was already so fast that it left a several-meter-long afterimage in the field of vision.

At the tip of this thing's mouth, psionic energy formed a glowing spear-like shape. Although the Windbreaker Sailfish was only at the Black Iron 5-star level, this attack definitely had the power of a full-force strike from a Bronze-level opponent. Who would dare to take it head-on?

Even if you manage to withstand the impact, the speedboat beneath your feet will be shattered into pieces upon impact.

At the crucial moment, the black Lincoln instinctively "expanded," its black muscles gleaming like some kind of metal. It crossed its arms and blocked the sailfish.

Even if the black Lincoln itself wasn't injured by the Windbreaker, or was only slightly injured, the speedboat under everyone's feet would definitely be destroyed!

Zhao Hao was about to set up a barrier. Although using the barrier to block such an attack would definitely expose his strength again, he couldn't care less about that now.

Unexpectedly, high school student Sam appeared in front of the sailfish in a flash, pulling outwards with both hands, creating an oval-shaped spatial void. The wind-breaking sailfish, accompanied by a sound of wind and thunder, disappeared into the spatial void! No one knows where it was teleported to!

Before Sam advanced to Bronze, he could only teleport himself or carry things he encountered.

However, after advancing to the Bronze level, he began to explore spatial abilities.

Four hours later, the group could vaguely see a huge island on the distant horizon.

Chapter 367 Colleagues are Enemies

After a short afternoon of high-speed surfing, Zhao Hao and his companions finally found their destination.

By this time, all five of them felt somewhat exhausted; after all, maintaining constant vigilance was incredibly draining. Adding to the stress, the speedboat frequently alerted certain extraordinary sea creatures that would attack or investigate, making the situation all the more nerve-wracking.

Fortunately, although this thing makes quite a commotion, it is also incredibly fast. Apart from a few exceptionally fast creatures, most others are too late to catch up by the time they are discovered.

Although we now know that the island isn't necessarily safe, at least we don't have to look for thrills at sea anymore.

Being down-to-earth is always a good thing.

However, there is still one hurdle for them to overcome.

That island wasn't so easy to reach. Although it was very close, it was surrounded by a swirling, howling psionic storm.

The storm whipped up huge waves that crashed violently against the rocks, and the immense centrifugal force repelled everything in all directions.

Zhao Hao tried it with a finely crafted paper doll, but it couldn't withstand the attack for more than a few seconds.

Within that storm belt, hundreds of meters wide, it felt as if a large group of Black Iron-level superhumans were attacking you dozens or even hundreds of times per second.

If they try to force their way in, the speedboat will be reduced to dust in a second.

Of the five, Black Lincoln could try to withstand the damage and force his way through, and Zhao Hao could too, but the others didn't know.

"Why don't you try using a barrier to protect the speedboat, Zhao Hao?" Xiluo suggested.

Zhao Hao shook his head. "Even if the barrier can withstand the storm, the speedboat surrounded by the barrier will lose power. How can it get close to the island? Even if it doesn't lose power, it will probably be blown into the sky."

Sam scratched his head. "I can try to teleport there in a speedboat."

He quickly began to try it out, first by getting the speedboat as close to the island as possible to reduce the difficulty.

After all, Sam had never been to that island, and there were no photos or anything to pinpoint its location. Teleporting without coordinates is still very dangerous.

If you were to pierce through a rock, even someone of bronze would have a chance of dying.

As the speedboat reached the ring-shaped storm belt, endless hurricanes spun rapidly, and all you could hear was the howling wind; your hair was practically being blown away!

Sam tried twice and ended up in a mess.

The previous times, the teleportation landing point was disrupted by the psionic storms. Twice, I fell into the sea, and once, I was almost smashed to pieces on the reef by the storm.

It was also thanks to his extremely convenient telepathic communication that he could send a single thought back to the speedboat. Otherwise, even nine lives wouldn't have been enough to save him.

In fact, Zhao Hao had come up with a way to get to the island: to have the small soft object wrap around the speedboat and dive underwater.

The little soft creature feeds on psionic energy, so it's not afraid of even the most chaotic psionic storms; it treats them like eating something spicy.

Diving underwater is much safer; at least the wind force, resistance, and the frequency and intensity of attacks will be greatly reduced.

But Sam's idea is also good; we should give children room to express themselves, right?

After several attempts, Sam finally calculated the interference coefficient and landing point, and successfully teleported to the island.

Once he succeeded, things became simple. He teleported back to the speedboat and then used the speedboat to reach the island.

……

Just as Zhao Hao and his group were figuring out how to teleport to the island, on the other side of the island, a group of people were also trying to land.

Among this group were three Bronze-level and a large group of Iron-level transcendents.

Similarly, they also racked their brains to get to the island.

However, unlike Zhao Hao and his group, they outnumbered each other, and those low-level Black Iron Transcendent beings were essentially expendable. They stubbornly charged into the psionic storm, relying on sheer numbers.

Many Iron-level superhumans died after only a few seconds, some even dying completely dismembered, their bodies exploding.

However, after each Black Iron Transcendent died, a large amount of crimson psionic energy gathered, so much so that after more than twenty were sacrificed, the red barrier formed by the gathering psionic energy was able to roughly withstand the storm's attack!

The three bronze-level superhumans controlled the psionic energy to protect the ship, and then quickly sailed towards the island.

Despite the high winds and waves, and the fact that a few unlucky ones perished during the beach landing, three bronze-level and over thirty iron-level individuals still managed to successfully reach the shore.

"Sir, the map shows that the Ark of the Covenant is on this island, only a few kilometers away!" A middle-aged superhuman in his forties, who appeared to be of the legal lineage, exclaimed happily, holding a sheepskin map.

The three bronzes each exhibited different characteristics.
