Chapter 52 I'm a Genius, Do as You Please
Ye Cang carried Luke back to the place he had agreed to meet Chen Li, intending to leave the Underworld.
Ye Cang looked into the distance, and said with empty eyes, "Brothers! We're going home!"
Inside the teleportation array, Ye Cang carried Luke back to the Super Dimensional Fortress.
But when Ye Cang returned to the Super Dimensional Fortress, Luke was nowhere to be found.
Xier and Mu Jieyu rushed to the Data Intelligence Division to help when they heard about this.
But neither Mu Jieyu, Xier, nor Chen Li could pinpoint Luke's location.
Ye Cang was extremely anxious, "Xier, please lock onto the Underworld again and teleport me over there. No matter what, I must bring Luke back!"
Xier looked troubled and explained to Ye Cang, "The Underworld's teleportation array can only teleport once every 12 hours at most. So, the soonest will be after 12 hours."
Thus, Ye Cang stood alone, silently guarding the door of the teleportation room, waiting for the long 12 hours.
Late at night, the light outside the teleportation room flickered on and off. Ye Cang's eyes were lost, and he seemed to hear Luke's helpless and painful wails in his ears...
He didn't know how long had passed, or what time it was, but Ye Cang leaned against the corridor and fell asleep, curled up.
Yes, he and Luke had entered the Underworld and fought fiercely, their lives hanging by a thread.
They had just defeated the Flame Demon and returned to the Super Dimensional Fortress, but he never expected his close friend to be in such a life-or-death situation because of him.
Just then, someone plopped down next to Ye Cang and pinched his nose, preventing him from breathing.
After a short while, Ye Cang impatiently pushed him away, annoyed, "Go away!"
The person sitting next to Ye Cang replied, "That... you're the one who told me to leave. Then I'm really leaving..."
The person turned around and was about to leave...
A flash of inspiration struck Ye Cang's mind! He thought with sleepy confusion, "That familiar voice, that warm body temperature, it's Luke, it must be my friend Luke!"
Ye Cang suddenly stood up and opened his eyes.
At this time, the dim corridor, and the flickering light, illuminated the corridor brightly.
Luke extended a fist, "Sorry my friend! Made you worry!"
Ye Cang also extended a fist, and the two fists gently bumped together.
Ye Cang was too excited to speak.
Luke still had a nonchalant and smiling expression. He walked up to Ye Cang, put an arm around his shoulder, and said as they walked, "My friend, do you know the purpose of our trip to the Underworld?"
Ye Cang smiled and said, "Of course, it's to improve our strength."
Luke patted Ye Cang on the shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go to the Data Intelligence Division and find Chen Li to see how much our strength has improved."
With that, the two went straight to Chen Li's residence.
Chen Li opened the door with an incredible and unbelievable expression, "Luke... you, you're alright... right?"
Luke replied with a smile, "Ahahaha, Sister Chen Li, I'm fine."
Chen Li quickly invited the two into the house, saying as they walked, "It's good that you're okay, Ye Cang has been guarding the door of the teleportation room for almost a whole night. He was thinking of going back to the Underworld again after 12 hours to bring you back from there."
Before the two could reply, Chen Li glanced at them, "What? Do you two need something from me?"
Luke replied, "Sister Chen Li, I want you to help me and Ye Cang see how much our strength has improved since we returned from the Underworld this time."
Chen Li got dressed, and the three of them went to the Data Intelligence Division to test their combat level.
Luke, combat power: Heroic Level.
Corresponding Phantom Beast Level: A.
Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate: 14.1%
Overall strength: Peak Heroic Level.
Then it was Ye Cang.
Combat power: Heroic Level.
Corresponding Phantom Beast Level: A-.
Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate: 17.6%
Overall strength: Normal Heroic Level.
Chen Li looked at the two people's combat power panels and smiled happily, "I never thought that in addition to Feng Lei, there would be two more genius Sprinters in this Super Dimensional Fortress."
Luke disagreed, and asked, "Sister Chen Li, what stage is Feng Lei's strength at now?"
Chen Li didn't speak, but presented Feng Lei's strength panel.
Feng Lei, combat power: Overlord Level.
Corresponding Phantom Beast Level: A+.
Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate: 14.3%
Overall strength: Bottom of the Overlord Level.
The two looked at Feng Lei's combat power panel and were dumbfounded, their mouths shaped like an "O", and it seemed that their chins were about to drop in shock.
Ye Cang thought, "This... this Feng Lei is too outrageous. We were cultivating in the Underworld at the same time, and Luke and I almost died. Only then did we get Heroic Level combat power. But Feng Lei... he actually became an Overlord Level Sprinter."
Luke thought, "Feng Lei is indeed a genius. I had already gone all out on this trip to the Underworld. But I still couldn't defeat the Eastern Domain Guard of the Underworld, and I was almost killed by him. From this, it is not difficult to imagine what Feng Lei has experienced in the Underworld!"
Chen Li saw what the two were thinking, cleared her throat and explained to them, "Two geniuses, don't be discouraged, and don't be disheartened."
"Feng Lei... although his combat power has reached the Overlord Level. But he is only at the Quasi-Overlord Level, not a true Overlord in the real sense. From this point of view, Feng Lei's strength is almost on par with Luke's."
"In addition, Feng Lei's Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate is very low, and that includes both of you."
"Generally speaking, being able to reach the Heroic Level is almost the limit of our Sprinters. Being able to reach the Overlord Level is even rarer."
"Usually, the age of a Heroic Level Sprinter is between 47 and 53 years old, and there are many who can reach this level at 55 years old."
"After that is the Overlord Level... but if you want to reach this level, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to go from Heroic Level to Overlord Level in five years. Even if it is possible, then this Sprinter is already 60 years old."
"Imagine, a 60-year-old man with white hair running to fight Phantom Beasts. Can such an old man's physical strength and endurance compare with you teenagers and twenty-year-olds? What's more... it is almost impossible for a 60-year-old to cultivate from the Heroic Level to the Overlord Level."
"So, Heroic Invincibility is what that means. You are so young, and you have already reached the peak of other Sprinters' lives. Shouldn't you be happy?"
Ye Cang was silent, not speaking. After seeing Feng Lei's combat power level, he always felt that he was not working hard enough...
Luke looked at the Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate and asked, "Sister Chen Li, I heard someone mention this Super Dimensional Quantum Boundary Rate once before. What exactly does this Quantum Boundary Rate do? What is its function?"
