"..."

The quack doctor was stunned.

But seeing Zhang Hao's teasing expression, he realized what was going on: "President, did you already take it?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "Okay, I'll take it."

The eccentric doctor cautiously probed, "Then, when will you give it to me, Elder? You are so wise, brave, upright, and a man of your word, you won't regret it, right?"

“Yes, but I already gave it to you last time. You lost it yourself this time, so how can you blame me?” Zhang Hao said matter-of-factly.

"ah?"

The quack doctor was dumbfounded.

That's the logic, but he still felt very frustrated.

My crystal core is gone again! I cried, I cried again, boohoo~~

Zhang Hao laughed and retorted, "Strange Doctor, it's normal that I couldn't see through Gu Tianle's faking death and using the crystal core to scheme against me. But even with your level of research on crystal cores, you couldn't see the trickery inside? You couldn't possibly have done it on purpose, could you?"

"I...I didn't mean to."

The quack doctor lowered his head and cried, "Actually, I was too anxious at the time, so I didn't check the crystal core properly. Who would have thought that Gu Tianle would tamper with it? I'm sorry... Guild Master, this is my responsibility, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"It was your responsibility, but you also deserve credit."

"If I were to give this crystal core to Fang Ping, Monkey, or Ye Tianfan, I would only end up dying in Gu Tianle's scheme."

Zhang Hao's expression hardened slightly, and he said directly, "But merits and demerits cannot offset each other. Confiscating the crystal core is your punishment, but your merit is the second level-nine crystal core you obtain next time, which you will still have priority to use. How about that?"

"Thank you, Chairman."

The quack doctor naturally dared not have any objections.

Zhang Hao's purpose in doing this was not actually to be stingy.

Punishing the quack doctor was merely the surface purpose; the real goal was to absorb the level nine bone-type crystal core himself.

The reason is quite simple...

The appearance of Gu Tianle made him realize a strong sense of crisis.

Moreover, even if some information from the previous life may still be useful, as the Dawn Society continues to grow, more unknown threats will emerge.

Take this time, for example.

There have also been several previous maritime crises.

It is obvious that most of them are caused by the butterfly effect.

Especially now that mutated creatures seem to be getting more and more rampant, the Dawn Society has not yet fully controlled the four coastal areas, and its resources have not yet been fully integrated.

Once they perceive the potential threat from the Dawn Society.

If the three parties unite... even the Dawn Society will face the crisis of destruction.

If one is strong enough, one might be able to escape this calamity, but without Dawn, the difficulty of making a comeback is not as simple as one plus one.

And this level of crisis...

Only by advancing to the [Transcendent] level can one contend with it!

Once one transcends the realm of mortals, there will be a terrifying improvement in both physical body and supernatural abilities.

Of course, none of these are the main points!

The key point is that extraordinary ability users possess their own unique [extraordinary domain]!

This realm is a special creation formed by combining spiritual energy with its own unique energy.

It can not only greatly enhance various bodily functions, but also exert a kind of oppressive force that is almost impossible for the body to resist on any creature below the level outside the domain.

This pressure is extremely strong; only peak-level superhumans of level nine or above can barely withstand it, but their bodies will become stiff.

But below level nine...

Minor injuries can result in serious bodily harm, while severe injuries can lead to death by body explosion!

It is worth mentioning that the domain can also interfere with reality to a certain extent.

Once the [Transcendent Realm] unfolds in reality,

Outsiders cannot enter the domain in a conventional way, and any enemy within the domain cannot escape its boundaries, making them like lambs to the slaughter.

No matter how many zombies, mutated creatures, or sea creatures came, he remained completely unafraid.

Extraordinary versus extraordinary!

And the only thing that can counter a domain is—a domain!!

This is what is called...

Below the extraordinary, all beings are equal!

certainly……

A domain can also have multiple domains.

But the difficulty involved is far greater than that of having multiple supernatural abilities.

To awaken multiple superpowers, one can devour different types of crystal cores and continuously test the affinity of superpowers to awaken them, but the foundation for opening up a domain is the spirit.

Only with a strong inner spirit as a foundation can one have the chance to open up new territories.

The cost of awakening superpowers is already high enough, and if you absorb too many superpower cores from other systems while your own system absorbs too few superpowers.

If the mental threshold for opening up a new domain is not reached, it is possible that neither domain can be opened up, which would be a huge loss.

certainly……

This does not mean that it must be a mentalist.

As other types of superpowers increase in strength, their mental strength will naturally increase as well; it's just that mental superpowers are a bit easier to achieve than those of ordinary superpower users.

Zhang Hao himself possesses both lightning and mental attributes.

Its mental strength is already comparable to that of a raven.

There is no situation where the [Thunder Domain] and [Spirit Domain] cannot be opened. As long as enough corresponding supernatural energy crystals are consumed, the spiritual threshold for opening the [Transcendent Domain] can be reached.
