Chapter 290: Chapter 254: The Might of a Tier 5 Skill

Moreover, while in his inflated state, Su Ze’s other skills would also be enhanced to match his new size.

For example, the recovery of his Regeneration Body wouldn’t weaken despite his increased size. The strike range of Furious Waves would grow with his body, the coverage of Gravity Dust Sand would expand, and the electrical charge of his Thunder God Body would increase...

Before obtaining the "Expansion" skill, Su Ze’s strongest method of attack was to split into multiple Liquid Clones for a combined assault.

But now with the "Expansion" skill, he no longer needed to split into multiple clones. Fighting on his own, he could unleash power on par with that of multiple Liquid Clones!

Su Ze didn’t want every fight to devolve into ten pools of liquid ganging up on someone. He occasionally wanted a one-on-one, manly showdown.

This skill was perfect for him. It was a comprehensive enhancement, causing his power to take a huge leap forward!

Su Ze suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over him as a surge of energy erupted within, infusing every cell in his body.

He knew this was his "Knowledge is Power" skill, which had detected his new abilities and was now performing a Cell Enhancement.

This time, he had gained two new skills at once, so he received two consecutive Cell Enhancements. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Combined with the constitutional boost from absorbing the Tier 5 extract, Su Ze’s physical condition was also noticeably stronger!

Su Ze thought back to the other evolvers of his rank he’d met in the Divine Dice... ’I have a feeling that even without using my skills, I could probably dominate most evolvers at my level with my monstrous physique alone.’

"Do you want to test your new skills here?" Liou Wenxin asked.

Su Ze thought for a moment and nodded. One of his new skills, "Expansion," made his body larger. This abandoned factory was spacious and deserted, making it a perfect place to test them.

He was also eager to test the power of his two new skills and find the limit of "Expansion." Just how big could he get!

Liou Wenxin and the other two immediately backed away, giving Su Ze plenty of room.

To avoid ruining an outfit, Su Ze had to take off his clothes first before activating the "Expansion" skill.

Since it was his first time using the skill, Su Ze was cautious. Instead of expanding to his limit right away, he tested it bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ze, who stood just over 180 centimeters tall, transformed into a five-meter-tall giant.

He clenched his fists, feeling the changes in his body. First, there was his size. He had been scaled up perfectly. Even as a giant, his proportions remained balanced, with flawless muscle definition.

His strength and other attributes were all clearly enhanced.

BOOM!

He slammed his fist into the ground, unleashing Furious Waves.

Rolling waves of air surged out like a great tide, sweeping in all directions.

The ground trembled. Fissures spiderwebbed across the abandoned factory’s concrete floor, and a nearby factory building collapsed with a thunderous crash...

The strike range of Furious Waves, which was originally only ten meters around him, had now expanded to a diameter of roughly fifty meters.

Su Ze continued to expand, and his height soon doubled, turning him into a ten-meter giant.

The various bonuses he received also doubled compared to when he was five meters tall, including his body’s stored electrical charge and the strike range of Furious Waves.

"Air Cannon!"

As a ten-meter giant, Su Ze took a deep breath, preparing to test the power of his Impact Cannon. Instead of drawing on his internal electricity, he chose to release the relatively weaker Air Cannon.

The ten-meter Su Ze instantly swelled up like a giant watermelon. His height didn’t increase; he expanded purely sideways as his body instantly filled with air.

This air was rapidly compressed inside him, and his body immediately deflated. He opened his mouth, and a blast from the Air Cannon shot out.

With a tremendous roar, an abandoned three-story office building in the factory was blasted to smithereens. Even its foundation was destroyed, leaving a crater several meters deep amid the ruins.

’The power is impressive, but can it only be fired from my mouth?’

’That’s not very cool,’ Su Ze thought. ’But if I integrate the Impact Cannon skill directly into my "Strongest Punch," I can launch the attack with my fist.’

Undeterred, Su Ze tried to use Air Cannon again. This time, he clamped his mouth shut, determined to fire it from his hand.

With a deafening roar, he succeeded!

The price was that his hand was blown clean off.

His destroyed hand slowly regenerated. Su Ze was completely unconcerned. Instead, his eyes lit up. ’If I use the Impact Cannon skill in my liquid state, I should be able to fire it from anywhere on my body!’

"Hey, kid, try to keep it down a little," Mrs. Yun reminded him.

Even though this was an abandoned factory, it wasn’t exactly appropriate for Su Ze to be carrying out a full-scale demolition.

"I can’t really let loose here," Su Ze said helplessly. "To properly test the power of these skills, I’ll have to go out into the wilderness."

He abandoned his plan to test his other attack skills. If he truly let loose, he feared the entire factory would be razed to the ground.

Next, Su Ze tested the limits of his "Expansion" skill. With his current constitution and evolution level, he could expand to a maximum height of twenty meters.

As a twenty-meter-tall giant, Su Ze had to crouch on the ground to avoid attracting attention from people in the distance.

At this size, Su Ze’s physical attributes, such as strength and speed, reached a new peak.

Furthermore, his stamina and evolutionary power felt practically inexhaustible, and the electrical charge stored in his body had accumulated to an astonishing degree.

Next, Su Ze began his most anticipated experiment: turning his colossal, twenty-meter-tall body into its liquid form.

Su Ze turned into a massive ball of water, which then continuously split, dividing into ten water-men, each over two meters tall.

Compared to his previous Liquid Clones, although their number hadn’t changed, the size of each one had increased tremendously. Furthermore, the evolutionary power, stamina, and electrical charge within each clone were all substantially boosted, resulting in a huge improvement in their sustained combat capability.

’In the future, once my evolution level rises and my Spiritual Power gets stronger, could I split into hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of clones? I could be a one-man army.’

’And what if I can expand to be a thousand, or even ten thousand, meters tall, and then transform into my liquid form? Wouldn’t I be a cataclysmic flood all by myself!’

’Wherever the flood passes, no life will remain; all living things will be devoured and submerged... And the crucial part is, this flood would also be electrified. How’s that for terrifying?’

A one-man cataclysm... Su Ze grew excited just thinking about it.

Now, whether transforming into a twenty-meter-tall giant or splitting into Liquid Clones, both could be considered Su Ze’s strongest combat forms. Each had its own strengths, to be used depending on the situation.

The ten Liquid Clones gathered together, and Su Ze deactivated his Liquid Life skill, reforming into the twenty-meter-tall giant.

Feeling the surging power within him, an idea suddenly occurred to Su Ze...

’Right now, if I went all out, how would I stack up against a Saint-level Overlord?’ Once the thought appeared, Su Ze couldn’t shake it.

And as it happened, there was someone present who was likely at the very bottom of the Saint-level Overlord hierarchy.

Mrs. Yun had only recently been promoted to Saint-level. She hadn’t absorbed a Tier 5 extract or significantly enhanced her skills yet, so her combat power was definitely among the weakest of the Overlords.

"Sun Xiayun! You ever seen a fist as big as a sow?" Su Ze taunted, brandishing his enormous fist.

"You little brat, you itching for a beating again?" Since Mrs. Yun had become a Saint, Su Ze hadn’t been this arrogant in front of her. "Think you’re all that just because you absorbed a Tier 5 skill? Feeling a little ’expanded’? Never been beaten up by a Saint before?"

"Here, try and take a punch from me!" Su Ze activated his Ant Power, then threw his "Strongest Punch"—a blow integrating Air Cannon, "Needle Strike," and Furious Waves—right at Mrs. Yun.

In his twenty-meter giant form, Su Ze’s strength was already off the charts. His Air Cannon was amplified by his size, and the power boost from the "Needle Strike" skill was even more astounding...

Sensing the terrifying, soul-shaking power emanating from Su Ze’s fist, Mrs. Yun didn’t dare to be careless. With a roar, her eyes flashed with an electric glow. As if possessed by a thunder god, electricity crackled all over her body, weaving into an armor of lightning on her skin.

Mrs. Yun calmly raised her right fist—so small compared to Su Ze’s that it was almost negligible—and met his massive fist with a punch of her own.

"A bigger fist doesn’t mean you’re stronger, kid. The gulf between the Extraordinary and Saint levels is insurmountable—"

Before Mrs. Yun could finish her sentence, she was hammered into the ground by Su Ze’s punch like a nail.

A terrifying shockwave ravaged the area. Mr. Ya, with his quick reflexes, grabbed Liou Wenxin and retreated to a safe distance. Still, the aftershocks caused horrifying cracks to appear on the nearby abandoned factory buildings and dormitories, and the two closest small buildings collapsed on the spot.

"Sun Xiayun, you okay down there?" Su Ze asked with a smug grin, looking at the bottomless crater in the ground.

After a moment, a dust-covered Mrs. Yun climbed out of the pit. She spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "Nothing special."

"Your mouth must’ve evolved to God-level to be that stubborn," Su Ze teased.

Mrs. Yun’s face flushed. In truth, she had already swallowed a bottle of Healing Medicine while she was underground. She was utterly shocked; Su Ze’s punch had definitely reached the Saint level!

’The only question is, how many punches like that can Su Ze throw? If he could land a few in a row, she, a bottom-tier Saint, probably couldn’t take it.’

’That kid... has he really gotten this strong already?!’

But no matter what, she wouldn’t admit defeat verbally. "I was only using half my strength," she said with a sneer. "This place is too small to let loose. If we were out in the wilderness, I’d be sure to let you experience the true power of a Saint!"

"What a coincidence, I wasn’t going all out either. We should spar in the wilderness some other time," Su Ze said with a laugh.

He wasn’t just bluffing, either. The Air Cannon he had integrated into his "Strongest Punch" was only the weakest form of the Impact Cannon skill. There was still plenty of room for improvement.

Besides, he hadn’t let Mrs. Yun get a taste of a combined attack from his ten Liquid Clones.

After becoming a Saint, Mrs. Yun had finally allowed herself to relax. But she never expected that after such a short time, Su Ze would already be putting pressure on her again, forcing her to get back on the competitive grind.

’I can’t just become a Saint only to be bullied by someone in the Butterfly Stage! If word of this got out, what would happen to my reputation as Dongli’s Fifth Guardian God? This won’t do. Tomorrow, I’m going to the national treasury to find materials to upgrade my skills!’
