“Oh- Ohh

A wild rooster that had survived, began to crow at the emergence of the sun.

Three kilometers away from Luo An City, after Du Gang once again thrust his spear and killed a Golden Beetle at the Spatial Channel, the originally existing vast and profound Spatial Channel gradually started to fade, until it completely disappeared.

Surrounding him, an astounding four to five piles, each several hundred meters high, of Golden Beetle carcasses had piled up.

Throughout the night, he didn’t stop for a single moment, continuously slaughtering the insects. In his eyes, these insects were all Source Energy — the source of his increasing strength!

“Huff-

Du Gang stood atop a mound of insect corpses, looking at the newly risen sun in the distance, unable to help but let out a slight sigh of relief.

Despite a night of continuous battling, his body could still go on for another three nights, but his spirit was somewhat exhausted.

“Eagle!”

He lifted his head to glance at the eagle still soaring in the sky, and loudly asked, “How many insects have I killed?”

“Caw–!”

The eagle swiftly descended, landing on Du Gang’s shoulder. Its eyes were full of bloodshot veins — it was clear that after keeping watch for an entire night, it was also utterly exhausted.

“Wait a moment!”

The low voice of the Hunting Dog came from the electronic device on the eagle.

After a few seconds, it spoke again, “You’ve killed 611 Golden Beetles in total, and 12355 Black Beetles…”

It was only due to the limited number of Golden Beetles coming out of this particular Spatial Channel that Du Gang hadn’t killed more.

However, he had not annihilated every Black Beetle. After escaping from this Spatial Channel, many Black Beetles had fled.

Upon hearing the count, Du Gang revealed a smile and instantly seemed a bit more energetic.

“611 Golden Beetles, exchanged at a rate of twenty to one could be 12220 Black

“That comes to a total of 24575 Red Crystals!”

“These are the Red Crystals I rightfully earned. Adding Commander Wang’s promised double, that comes to 49150 Red Crystals!”

“Translated into Source Energy, it’s nearly a hundred thousand points!” Does that mean, I can directly break through to a Battle Level of twenty meters?!!

“Haha!”

“That’s awesome!”

Upon learning of his results of the night’s hunting, Du Gang couldn’t help letting out a hearty laugh, then instructed the eagle, “You can go and report to the Commander now. I’m planning to return home. Once they’re ready with my crystals, send them over!”

He did not stay at a temporary residence within the small community, but rather his own home.

After all, he spent his nights hunting so, it didn’t matter where he slept during the day. Therefore, squeezing into the confines of the Dawn Stone’s area was unnecessary.

“Caw–!”

The eagle obediently nodded its head, let out a caw, and quickly flew away.

Inside the command vehicle.

Wang Dezhen and his team hadn’t slept all night and were still discussing how to handle the giant tiger problem.

Some suggested using a nuclear bomb, some suggested detouring, and some suggested sending the Superpowered up the mountain to fight the tiger.

However, no consensus was reached. The most influential person, Zhuge Shui, hadn’t yet expressed his opinion. At that moment, he was leaning back in his chair, sound asleep.

Wang Dezhen wasn’t sure when he had fallen asleep. But seeing the white-haired, elderly man, he didn’t have the heart to disturb him.

Just then, the deputy officer from outside entered.

“Commander, the Eagle and Hunting Dog are here!”

Seeing the rest of the team had also failed to reach a resolution, and not fearing they’d hear anything they shouldn’t, Wang Dezhen said, “Let them in!” He had specially assigned these two to Du Gang, so naturally, he knew why they were here.

Soon, one after another, they both came in to report.

“Yes!”

Wang Dezhen nodded, smiling, “The young man sure has energy. After battling all night, tell me, how many insects did he kill?”

Hunting Dog and Eagle exchanged a glance, stepped forward, and answered, “He has killed a total of 611 Golden Beetles and 12355 Black Beetles.”

“What?”

Wang Dezhen widened his eyes and asked again.

“611 Golden Beetles, 12355 Black Beetles!”

He was stunned – Du Gang had single-handedly killed over ten thousand insects!

Over there, Li Yi and two others who were still in a heated debate also stopped.

All three of them were dumbfounded.

Li Youcai quickly calculated, and said, “So, we owe him 49150 Red Crystals?”

Upon hearing the number, Wang Dezhen was momentarily speechless, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

According to their ongoing Group Awakening B plan.

This quantity of crystals would be enough for 4900 people to undergo awakening tests. Similarly, it would almost be enough to awaken 490 superpowered individuals!

Seeing that nobody was speaking, Liu Xingyu suggested: “How about we just don’t give it?”

“We can’t not give!”

Li Youcai rebutted: “It would seem too rude if we don’t give! How about we just stop doubling it? Let’s give him only a bit more than 20,000?”

“Enough!”

Wang Dezhen abruptly stopped the two of them, his brows furrowed, “We have just begun our cooperation, are we going to sever ties because of such a small amount of crystals?”

He turned to face Hound, and ordered, “Go to the warehouse now, collect the crystals and deliver them to Du Gang!”

‘Yes!”

Seeing that Commander Wang had spoken, Liu Xingyu and Li Youcai halted their argument. Sometimes, it’s not about what they want to say; instead, it’s about voicing out in adherence with the leaders’ line.

However, it is clear that Wang Dezhen had no intention of withholding the crystals from Du Gang. In his eyes, these crystals were not worth causing a dispute with Du Gang.

“Oh, haven’t you guys dispersed yet?”

At this moment, Zhuge Shui woke up and made a completely oblivious comment.

The other three people looked at Old Shui with envy, thinking he was probably the only one who could fall asleep during a discussion in this room!

Wang Dezhen started the conversation, “Old Shui, we have been discussing all night and haven’t come up with a feasible plan, what do you think?”

Then, instead of deliberately making things difficult for Zhuge Shui, he enumerated the plans proposed by everyone else.

After hearing them, Zhuge Shui pondered for a moment and then spoke, “We can exclude nuclear bombs for now. We are located too close to the impact, the radiation could directly take this old man’s life…” “Dispatch a team of superpowered individuals…”

“Good!”

Wang Dezhen claimed, “We will proceed as Old Shui said, let’s send a team of superpowered individuals to probe once more!”

After Du Gang’s hunt ended, he didn’t hurry back to his dwelling. Instead, he found a river to rinse himself off.

A night’s fighting had left him covered in sticky bloodstains, a thick layer of green blood scabs making him look like a green giant…

When he returned home ready to rest, he found Hound waiting downstairs.

Four big, military-green metal boxes, neatly arranged at the door.

“Great God of War, the crystals are all here. Do you want to count them?”

Since learning about Du Gang’s power, Hound dare not call him by his name anymore.

In the past, those at the bottom of the military revered strength, it was just that the focus then was on elements like marksmanship and physical condition.

Nowadays, amongst superpowered individuals, with a strength difference vast like the heavens, Du Gang had completely become someone he looked up to and revered.

“No need!”

Du Gang waved his hand and smiled, “You must have been tired as well all night, you should go and rest!”

“Should I help you move these boxes upstairs?”

“No need, off you go!”

Upon hearing this, Hound obediently got into the car and left.

After he left, Du Gang didn’t bring the boxes upstairs. He just opened one nearby and started absorbing.

[Detection of 49,150 units of Red Source Energy Crystals, absorb?]

“Absorb!”

[Absorption of 49 ,150 Red Source Energy Crystals, resulting in Source Energy points of 112,465!]

Including the Source Energy he had left, he now had a total of 119 ,267 Source Energy points.

“Level up!”

Without hesitation, he added all 110,000 Source Energy points.

[Du Gang]

[Second-Rank Ancient God]

[Battle Level: 23 Meters]

“Cooperating with the military isn’t so bad!”

Du Gang laughed. Just one night and his proportion had doubled.

Keep in mind, based on the square-cube law, his power had increased more than just twofold.

He roughly calculated that after his transformation, his weight could be between 350 to 400 tons.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine the power of a punch thrown with this immense weight.

“Could I …. punch through Earth?”
