Zhang Hao kept his eyes tightly closed.
With a slight shift in his mind, he took the lead in absorbing the crystal core.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
A large number of supernatural abilities continued to pour in.
Driven by the level nine crystal core, a large amount of supernatural power began to flow into his body, and arcs of electricity spread across his body.
A full half hour passed.
This level-nine crystal core has only been used up by less than a quarter.
The ninth-level crystal core is different from the eighth-level crystal core; the internal abnormal energy is at least hundreds of times greater than that of the ninth-level crystal core.
But that's not the point...
The key point is that the higher the level of the crystal nucleus, the purer the alien energy.
Simply put, it allows awakened individuals to absorb more alien energy within a day, and those two level-eight crystal cores plus a hundred level-seven crystal cores, if in sufficient quantity, are enough to advance to level nine.
However, there is a limit to the amount of alien energy that can be absorbed each day.
If the majority of the crystal cores are level seven, it will take ten days to half a month to advance to level nine.
This is assuming the talent is exceptionally strong.
If one's talent is too weak, the lower the level of the crystal core, the lower the daily limit of alien energy that can be absorbed, and the more time it takes to complete the advancement.
The same principle applies even to those who advance to the extraordinary level.
You say that Sun Aotian and Ye Tianfan are less talented than Eric? Actually, that's not true.
It's just that Dawn Society is developing too fast. At present, the number of crystal cores is extremely large. Based on the previous large-scale battles, tens of millions of crystal cores have been obtained, and there are a great many low- and mid-level crystal cores.
However, compared to other organizations, the Dawn Society has far too few high-level crystal cores. Let alone level nine... they have only collected two level eight crystal cores so far, and level seven crystal cores are even scarcer.
And what about Eric?
It lives in the resource-rich ocean.
The number of sea creatures is impossible to estimate, and there are far more advanced sea creatures than on land. Although the stonefish are very lazy... they are not lazy at all when it comes to eating, and they always eat until they are stuffed.
In addition, Eric himself is a top-tier talent.
Reaching level nine is actually quite normal. As for Murphy, he has very poor talent, but he has consumed a large number of high-level crystal cores, so he has advanced over time.
So it's not that Sun Aotian and his group aren't powerful.
It's due to the environment; under the same conditions... Sun Aotian wouldn't be any worse than them.
The Dawn Society has a sufficient number of low- to mid-level Awakened.
However, there are still very few advanced awakeners above level seven. As long as one controls the South China Sea, one can quickly transform the [Extraordinary Seeds] under one's command into true [Extraordinary] beings.
One extraordinary person can be worth a thousand troops.
Using the numerous sea creatures in the South China Sea as a springboard, they continuously devour and divide the entire sea creature population, occupying the four strategic seas of the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea, while strengthening the Dawn Society... They can also eliminate the sea creatures that hate humans and serve as a future seafood resource reserve.
When I reach level nine...
With a single command, all the humans on the entire southeast coast could be united.
With the South China Sea as a resource source, there is no need to worry about food consumption. The Dawn Society's defense line will extend from the land to the four major coastal sea areas in Southeast Asia.
That is, the South China Sea south of Qiongzhou, the Yellow Sea and East China Sea east of Shanghai, and the Bohai Sea east of Beijing, totaling more than 4.7 million square kilometers.
Once Meng Wu has gathered enough sea creatures, the time is ripe to extend his reach into the central Pacific Ocean and explore the mysterious and unknown deep sea.
The locations of the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and other near-shore seas are very important.
However, the Bohai Sea has only 77,000 square kilometers, the Yellow Sea has 380,000 square kilometers, the East China Sea has 770,000 square kilometers, while the South China Sea has a full 3.5 million square kilometers.
What does such a sea area mean?
In a sense, the area of the sea is equivalent to resources.
Once Zhang Hao has taken control of a sufficient number of sea creatures in the South China Sea, controlling the remaining three sea areas will no longer be a problem. This is precisely why Zhang Hao is determined to take control of the South China Sea.
Sizzle!
Sizzle!!
The electric arcs grew thicker and thicker.
Zhang Hao's muscles were bursting out, and his upper body was completely naked, making Honglian next to him swallow hard.
"Ahhh!"
"Aaaaaaah!!"
About half an hour later.
The blue level-nine crystal core had shrunk by more than half.
Zhang Hao could feel that he had reached a critical point and was about to step into the true ninth level. But it was precisely this critical point that caused the crystal core in his head to expand continuously as it absorbed a sufficient amount of crystal cores.
It felt like my head was being torn apart.
Even though Zhang Hao was usually very patient, he still cried out in pain.
"break!"
Zhang Hao shouted loudly.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and lightning flashed wildly.
Bolts of lightning scorched the courtyard, finally relieving the intense pain, and a powerful aura of supernatural energy swept across the entire mountaintop.
It lasted for a good ten minutes.
Zhang Haocai restrained his aura and roughly assessed the situation: "As expected of a level nine, if I were to face Murphy now... even if mental attacks were ineffective, I could kill it in just three moves, without needing any trump cards."
and.
His physical strength is already extremely high.
The skin on its entire body was stimulated by lightning to be harder than refined steel of the metal type, and the flesh inside was also more resilient. Unless it was a level nine of the flesh type, it would be difficult for a level nine of the non-flesh type to break through its defense.
He glanced at the dragon-patterned battle axe behind him.
Zhang Hao put it into the ring; he no longer needed it.
The Dragon Pattern Battle Axe was originally crafted by Master Mo Yu using the metal cores of several level-seven metal-type zombies, but level-seven metal-type zombies were still too fragile and could not enhance his strength.
If there were a level nine metal element...
Forging two metal battle axes might still be of some use.
Moreover, it cannot be just level nine metals. If super-sequence metals are added in conjunction with crystal cores, stronger and more refined weapons can be forged.
It provides a significant boost even for those at level nine or beyond.
Unfortunately... Mo Yu's current abilities and strength are insufficient.
It's only level seven.
So let's not think about it for now. We need to wait until we have control of the South China Sea and use high-level crystal cores to train the elites under our command. Whether it's Mo Yu or the others, they all need to become stronger as soon as possible.
I saw that Zhang Hao had been promoted.
Honglian skipped over, grinning, and said, "Congratulations, Brother Hao, on advancing to level nine! Such an important event is definitely a happy occasion, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.
"Shouldn't we celebrate happy occasions?"
"sure."
Honglian blinked her beautiful eyes, a blush rising on her face: "Then, Brother Hao, give me a kiss as a way of celebrating for you."
Zhang Hao: "⊙▽⊙?"
