The little girl in the back seat had big, bright eyes that seemed to be darting around, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
"Nothing is impossible. We just awakened late. It's normal for those who awakened three years ago to reach level six."
Uncle Steel said, "Besides, even mutated creatures can reach the 'Beast King' level in just two or three years, so why can't humans, who are the most intelligent of all beings, reach that level?"
"That's true." The young man nodded. "So what do we do now?"
"wait!"
The Steel Uncle said, "Even those beings are wary of what's inside the tollbooth. We wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap for what's inside."
He thought there was something terrifying inside the tollbooth, but he wondered what he would think if he knew the real reason Yang Shen stopped the car.
On this side of the highway, inside the bus in the middle, Yang Shen was still supplying energy to Liang Yueqin.
It could be sensed that Liang Yueqin's aura was growing stronger and stronger, as if she was about to break through.
Elaine had returned to her car and told Yang Shen about the two cars that had appeared on the other road.
"Other teams?" Yang Shen was somewhat interested; population was his area of expertise.
However, he was more eager to get to Hai City as soon as possible, so he gave up his plan to go and gain some experience.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, a fluctuation emanated from Liang Yueqin, followed by a powerful aura.
"Is this what it means to break through the bottleneck?"
Yang Shen sensed it carefully, his expression a little strange, because he found that he seemed to experience this situation every time he upgraded an item.
This happens even when upgrading items that only require a little initial experience. It's just that it goes so smoothly that you hardly feel any bottleneck, so I didn't notice it before.
"Breaking through the bottleneck means breaking the shackles of the human body's limits, and instantly gaining a huge boost in vitality?"
"If every time I upgrade an item and the process of it being strengthened counts as breaking through a bottleneck, then what level of superhuman am I now? More than level ten, right?"
This is why Yang Shen's expression was strange: "No wonder I always felt that the energy inside the energy crystal core was too low-level. If my level is really that high, then the energy of a level one or two crystal core is indeed too low-level."
Yang Shen strongly suspected that his ranking was fake.
Because the gap between each of my levels is too large.
For example, the difference between upgrading and strengthening that requires a little experience and upgrading and strengthening that requires 10,000 experience points is like night and day.
Others' levels have increasingly larger gaps as they progress, and each breakthrough represents a huge improvement.
Yang Shen's level is completely different. For example, right now, if he upgrades an item that only requires a little experience, he can break through a small bottleneck after it is strengthened.
This upgrade only increased his strength by one kilogram.
At this moment, Liang Yueqin, who was lying on the sleeper berth, slowly opened her eyes. A subtle aura emanated from her, making her presence suddenly very faint.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Liang Yueqin felt an immense pressure, which made her instinctively want to use her superpower to 'escape'.
However, when she realized that the person who had been putting so much pressure on her was Yang Shen, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sat up, and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Yang."
Liang Yueqin was well aware of her situation. That night, she was gambling. Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well take a chance.
As it turned out, she won her gamble; Yang Shen saved her life.
Superpowered individuals can sense each other. For example, Elaine, as an ordinary person, cannot sense how strong Yang Shen's aura is.
Unless Yang Shen deliberately released his aura, it would only make her feel oppressed and uncomfortable; she still couldn't judge how strong Yang Shen was.
"You're a level three ability user?" Yang Shen asked.
Liang Yueqin sensed her condition and was immediately surprised: "Yes, have I been unconscious for a long time?"
"Just one night. We're on our way to Haishi now."
Yang Shen didn't explain further: "Can you use that ability from last night now? To make everyone transparent?"
"Only one night?"
Liang Yueqin could hardly believe that she had broken through to the third level of superhuman ability in just one night.
However, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was because she had "broken down and started anew," though it might also be related to Yang Shen.
After hearing Yang Shen's words, Liang Yueqin said with difficulty, "To be honest, Brother Yang, the situation last night could only be achieved by overdrawing my life force. Although I have now reached the third level of ability user, it has only doubled the range of my ability, and there has been no qualitative change."
"Can't I?"
Yang Shen was a little disappointed: "Then how much is a doubling of the value?"
“It can cover an area of about 300 meters, minimizing the presence of everything within that range, including breath, sound, and even energy fluctuations. And I can maintain this for a very long time,” Liang Yueqin explained.
Speaking of this, Liang Yueqin was also very frustrated, because she didn't feel that her strength had increased much. This kind of superpower had a very limited effect on increasing physical fitness and strength.
"Three hundred meters?"
Yang Shen calculated: "That should be enough. Now, use your superpower to cover all nine vehicles as much as possible. If the distance between the vehicles is too large, you don't need to worry about the SUV at the front."
“Yes, Brother Yang,” Liang Yueqin replied respectfully.
Yang Shen nodded, patted Elaine's head, and then got out of the car.
Elaine was a little flattered, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly took out a compressed biscuit and said to Liang Yueqin, "You didn't eat anything this morning, are you hungry?"
...
Yang Shen got out of the car and immediately saw two cars on the opposite road, several hundred meters away. His eyes narrowed slightly.
