Chapter 14 Immense Strength! Zhou Hai: You're cheating, kid?
The three of them quickly walked toward the area that Su Li was in charge of.
Before we even got close, a bloody stench ten times stronger than before, mixed with the rain, hit us in the face.
Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with astonishment.
The rooftop where Su Li had been defending was now covered in blood, with two enormous corpses torn into pieces and scattered everywhere.
Its distinctive long, scarlet tongue clearly identified it as the high-level floating corpse that had ambushed Lu Sheng!
At the other end are mutated claws, also belonging to a high-level floating corpse.
Su Li stood quietly in the center of the corpses.
The rain washed over the long sword in her hand, yet the blade remained as bright as autumn water, without a trace of blood.
The aura of coldness emanating from her was several times deeper than before, like a peerless, deadly blade sheathed, its sharpness concealed, yet all the more dangerous.
"Holy crap!" Zhou Hai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He stared intently at Su Li, sensing the completely different aura emanating from her. His voice trembled slightly. "Ali, you...you broke through too?"
Zhao Ze carried the giant hammer, his face also showing an expression of having seen a ghost.
Two members of the team broke through to the Heavenly Rank in one night?
What kind of incredible luck is this?!
Lu Sheng was equally shocked, but he did not forget that if it hadn't been for Su Li, he would already be a corpse.
He walked up to Su Li, put away his spear, and said solemnly, "Thank you for earlier."
This is a heartfelt expression of gratitude.
Su Li raised her eyelids, her calm and still eyes glanced at him, and her clear, cold voice rang out in the rainy night, the contents of which stunned everyone.
"I'm the one who should be thanking you."
Lu Sheng: "???"
Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze were also completely bewildered.
Su Li's gaze swept over the pile of shredded flesh on the ground, and she explained calmly, "I've been stuck at level 3 for a long time, unable to find the experience to break through. If it weren't for the two high-level floating corpses that came with you, I don't know when I would have been able to advance."
Lu Sheng's lips twitched slightly.
Good grief, I almost got stabbed to death by a tongue, but you've turned me into an ally who gives you experience points?
This woman's brain circuits are indeed different from normal people's.
"Hahaha! Good! Great!"
Zhou Hai slapped his thigh suddenly, and a deafening laugh instantly broke the eerie atmosphere. He rushed up and grabbed Lu Sheng's shoulder, pointing at Su Li with his other hand, his face filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Double happiness! This is fucking double happiness!"
"In just one night! Our Blazing Fleet has seen one ship level up by level 2 and another by level 4! Hahahaha!"
Zhou Hai's laughter was infectious, sweeping away the fatigue and tension after the battle, leaving only the relief of surviving and the ecstasy of his sudden increase in strength.
Level 4 Spirit Source User!
This means that Su Li has officially entered the core level of the Sequence Superhumans!
Looking across this sea area, a level 4 Spirit Source user is absolutely a pillar of strength in any fleet!
"The younger generation surpasses the older generation..." Zhao Ze sighed with satisfaction as he looked at the spirited Lu Sheng and the increasingly unfathomable Su Li. Then he shook his head self-deprecatingly, "This old bone of mine has been swept away by you guys."
"You're kidding, Lao Zhao!" Zhou Hai glanced at him and chuckled. "Comparing yourself to two freaks at the Heavenly Rank is just asking for trouble. Let's just be decent salted fish at the Earthly Rank!"
Zhao was amused by him and jokingly scolded him.
On the rooftop, the oppressive atmosphere vanished.
The four-person team suddenly displayed an unprecedented level of cohesion.
"Alright, stop standing there like idiots." Zhou Hai's smile faded as he glanced at the still-dark sea in the distance. "The zombie horde has retreated for now, but who knows if they'll come back?"
He rearranged, "Lu and I were too exhausted just now, we'll go rest first. Old Zhao, you and Ali will keep watch, is that alright?"
"No problem." Zhao nodded. He had used up the least amount of energy and still had plenty of energy.
Su Li, who had just been promoted, was full of energy. She glanced at Lu Sheng and said calmly, "Go and rest."
"it is good."
Lu Sheng didn't mince words. The continuous high-intensity battles, especially the enormous strain on his body during the advancement, made him feel as if his body had been hollowed out, and his eyelids were starting to droop.
He and Zhou Hai dragged their weary bodies back to the makeshift tent.
Almost the instant the waterproof cloth touched him, Lu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Sheng was awakened by a rich aroma of meat.
He opened his eyes; it was already dawn, and the rain had stopped.
Outside the tent, Zhao Ze was humming a little tune, stewing something in a field pot, while Su Li sat quietly beside him, wiping her precious longsword.
"Awake?" Zhao turned around and smiled at him. "Come on, try the stewed meat your brother Zhao made, it smells delicious!"
Lu Sheng stretched and felt an explosive power coursing through his body, completely erasing the fatigue from the previous night.
He opened the system panel and took a look.

Last night's battle resulted in the killing of fifty low-level floating corpses, yielding fifty energy points. Combined with the ten low-level floating corpses killed earlier and the points obtained from Wang Meng and his two companions, the total is sixty-three points.
We're still a long way from unlocking new features.
"I still need to find a way to get more energy points," Lu Sheng thought to himself.
He picked up the broth that Zhao Ze handed him and drank it in large gulps.
Just then, Zhou Hai, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up. He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and came out. When he smelled the aroma of meat, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Old Zhao, not bad, you even left some food for the brothers!"
The four of them sat together, enjoying this rare peaceful breakfast.
"Oh, right," Zhou Hai suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Sheng, "you're level 2 now, how much strength do you have?"
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "One thousand catties."
"puff--!"
Zhou Hai spat out the mouthful of broth he had just taken a sip of.
