Chapter 45 - 45: 45: Blood Red Armor (Seeking Kecommenaauons!)
Embracing the principle of using up residual resources, he ordered these men to collect useful items from the buildings downstairs. Meanwhile, he set out with Chu Zixuan to gather the insect crystals.
It was already the afternoon and they couldn’t continue travelling, so they planned to spend the night here before setting off again next day.
Before nightfall, Du Gang and Chu Zixuan both moved quickly, beginning a frantic harvest.
From the moment they left the buildings, they spent a total of four hours wandering around, collecting over six hundred insect crystals.
Du Gang was very satisfied with their achievement. Working on a 40/60 split, he could gain 240 crystals.
But Chu Zixuan seemed somewhat unsatisfied. On the way to Xingyuan County, he was able to reap crystals constantly with a wave of his Mental Power. But here, they had to search for them from one house to another, which was truly laborious.
“Du Gang, are you sure you want to distribute these six hundred crystals to them?”
As the two men rested on a bench by the road, Chu Zixuan posed this question.
“What do you mean?”
“The six hundred crystals, were all found by us alone, weren’t they?”
Du Gang shook his head, “If we don’t share with them, the team will fall apart!”
Chu Zixuan laughed, “I’m not saying we don’t distribute any. Let’s each absorb half of the six hundred crystals first, and then distribute the rest equally once we’re back.”
Du Gang was somewhat tempted. Apart from Ma Li with whom he had a deep bond, he wanted to abandon all the others. They were of no use, always speaking ill of him behind his back.
He’d seen Ji Zhiwen and Cao Yongyi’s ulterior motives a long time ago, but never had the chance to clean them up. Since leaving the city, they have been very cautious and rushing to do anything asked, so he couldn’t lash out.
Du Gang initial decision to form a team was due to his transformation time being limited to ten minutes. He was worried about being weak once his time ran out. But who would expect the system to be so powerful, it elevated the transformation time to six hours after two upgrades.
With such a long transformation time, he felt he could even single-handedly take on Luo An City.
Chu Zixuan continued to advise, “Actually, it’s fair to allocate more for us because we have the greatest combat power. In case of sudden incidents, we’ll be the first to the scene. If we can’t hold up, they definitely wouldn’t live…”
He had actually discovered early on that, at this point, Du Gang’s ability to transform is too formidable, almost invincible.
If Du Gang can’t hold up, then humans are probably doomed.
Seeing how dead serious Chu Zixuan is about his words, Du Gang could only nod in agreement, “Fine. Let’s take out three hundred crystals, split it in half between us, and use them first.”
Saying that, he took out three hundred crystals, split them equally, and handed Chu Zixuan his share.
“Let’s use them here. I know your evolution takes half an hour. We still have forty minutes before the sunset in Xingyuan County, enough for us to complete the evolution and safely return.”
Chu Zixuan laughed after getting the crystals.
“You scheming little bugger, you planned all this from the start, didn’t you?”
Du Gang shook his head but didn’t blame him. After all, he was also benefiting.
150 crystals offered Du Gang 312 points of Source Energy.
Without hesitation, he immediately directed a hundred points to the skill under the Movement System, activating [Skill 3: Fatal Strike, a limit attack carried out under the body’s limit state…].
Extreme strength and high-speed are good, but he realized that his methods were way too simplistic, lacking a deadly, desperation move. This Fatal Strike suited his tastes perfectly, so he activated it right away.
Upon activating the Fatal Strike skill, the method of using this skill appeared in his mind instantly.
The usage was simple. He just had to yell the name of the skill out loud…
After learning this life-saving skill, Du Gang quickly allocated a hundred points of Source Energy to the third system – the Circulatory System. [Ding. The Circulatory System is activated.] [Rank One Ancient God Transformation Time Increases to Nine Hours]
[Circulatory System Enhanced to Rank One]
[Whole body cardiovascular system enhanced to rank one]
[Heart enhancement in progress…]
[Initiating sub-skills of the Circulatory System]
[Skill 1: Ultimate Rhythm (100) Your heart can greatly endure your extreme activities…]
[Skill 2: Between Life and Death (100) You can greatly secrete adrenaline when life is at stake, enhancing your combat ability…]
[Skill 3: Useless Blood Armor, your cardiovascular system has been greatly enhanced, with strong hematopoietic function, generates a kind of blood armour made from coagulated blood. Don’t ever count on it to resist attacks, but at the very least it can save you from going into battle bare-assed…] [Note: Only one sub-skill can be learned with a Rank One Circulatory System]
After activating the circulatory system, Du Gang quickly checked the newly available skills and was momentarily speechless.
The Useless Blood Armor skill was as if the system had heard him bitching in his heart; it perfectly met his current needs.
Without hesitation, Du Gang spent the remaining hundred points of his Source Energy on [Skill 3: Useless Blood Armor]
When he opened his eyes, Chu Zixuan was waiting on the sidelines.
“Not a minute too late, exactly thirty minutes!”
It was clear that he started timing when Du Gang closed his eyes, validating a hunch he had.
Du Gang ignored him and murmured, “Useless Blood Armor!”
In a moment, he felt a flow in his blood and a layer of crimson armor suddenly covered his body’s surface.
This suit of armor, from head to toe, covered his entire body; every section had unique aspects and elements, as if specially designed by someone. It was exquisite, grand and imposing.
Chu Zixuan was dumbstruck as he watched the once normal Du Gang transform into a heroic and handsome figure clad in blood-red armor.
“What the fuck… what is this?”
Du Gang could not see his full body, but at first glance from the shoulder, the high-standing shoulder armor with the blood-red patterns gave him a clue.
He originally thought the so-called Useless Blood Armor was just a layer of plasma.
Who knew that the system had given him such an impressive, high-profile suit of armor.
Simply by seeing Chu Zixuan’s envious face, Du Gang knew just how stunning his suit of armor was.
“Holy shit, Du Gang, your armor’s too cool man. Get me one too!”
Get you one? Not a chance, this is exclusive to me!
This way, clad in blood-red armor, Du Gang walked over to a floor-to-ceiling glass and began inspecting it.
A single glance took his breath away.
In the mirror, a towering figure clad in blood stained armor stood imposingly against the cold wind.
He had a pair of blood-red boots on his feet, resplendent and magnificent, as if they just tread on a thousand enemy corpses.
On his knees were diamond shaped knee guards, each equipped with dark red horns, which suggest a terrifying amount of damage they could cause when rammed into an enemy.
Looking further up, he had a huge red chest plate adorned with very mysterious patterns.
In addition to the independent armor at each of the body’s joints, the body was wrapped in clearly defined blood-red scales.
“Too cool!”
After seeing the full appearance of his own armor, Du Gang finally couldn’t help but praise!
