Chapter 345: Chapter 287: Head Buzzing, Just That Powerful
If the consumption rate of Magnetic Core Energy under level-7 pressure was a gusher, then under level-8 pressure, it was a dam breaking.
In less than half a minute.
The magnetic core turned white.
Of course, Gao Neng’s first magnetic core had already been significantly depleted, so after switching to level-8 intensity, it was used up in an instant.
But it didn’t matter. He had another one.
’Switch to the second magnetic core!’ With a thought from Gao Neng, his complexion returned to normal, his face flushing with color once more.
In contrast, Shaximo was still holding on for dear life.
What did this mean?
It meant that in terms of the storage capacity of a single magnetic core, Shaximo truly surpassed Gao Neng.
Number one on the Dragon List!
His title was no empty boast.
Shaximo was indeed incredibly formidable.
First, he possessed the Golden Blood Arhat. Second, he had an incredibly powerful magnetic core, on top of the profound martial arts passed down through the Esoteric Sect for millennia.
Let alone within Tier Six, even if he faced a Tier Seven, as long as his opponent couldn’t break through his Golden Blood Arhat, Shaximo could basically fight them to a draw.
This was the foundation of Shaximo’s firm hold on the number one spot on the Dragon List.
But unfortunately for him...
This time, he had run into Gao Neng.
"Gao Neng still hasn’t dropped to his knees?!"
"He’s still holding on!"
"This is terrifying! Could his ’metabolism’ ability be that strong?!"
"This level-8 intensity... it must be fake, right?"
The disciples from the sects and influential families stared at Gao Neng, who was still standing steadily in the glass chamber. They truly couldn’t believe it.
But it was the fucking truth!
Whether they believed it or not, it was the truth!
Gao Neng was indeed still holding on.
’Still, Shaximo lasting this long is a bit surprising. As expected, the Federation is full of geniuses. If it weren’t for my cheat, I really would have lost by now.’
Just as he was thinking this, there was some movement from Shaximo in the next chamber.
"NO!!!" Shaximo roared. Although Gao Neng and the people outside couldn’t hear him, you could tell what he was saying just by reading his lips.
Shaximo was frantic.
He was in agony.
He was about to explode!
Both of his legs were shaking like a leaf.
But he couldn’t accept this.
’How could I lose to Gao Neng in a contest of ’metabolism’? I’m the number one expert on the Dragon List! I’m at the Tier Six Late Stage!’
’This is so unscientific!’
’A Tier Five Late Stage fighter like Gao Neng has a faster energy absorption and conversion rate than me?! This is simply outrageous!’
Shaximo did not want to lose.
At the very least, he absolutely would not allow himself to lose in this round.
So...
He held on with all his might. Even though his Magnetic Core Energy had hit rock bottom, he still held on, relying on his tenacious willpower and formidable body.
But the level-8 pressure was too intense.
Without energy to support him, he simply couldn’t resist this level of sonar. So, no matter how strong his willpower was, his body was brutally honest.
That’s right!
Shaximo had wet himself!
The crotch of his pants was instantly soaked.
And, his rear end was continuously making a PFFT PFFT PFFT sound.
This stunned the disciples from the sects and influential families, who had been eagerly waiting to see Gao Neng make a fool of himself.
Gao Neng didn’t pee?
But Shaximo did?!
"..." The disciples from the sects and influential families stared wide-eyed at Shaximo and his soaked crotch, their hearts filled with a storm of emotions.
"Sister, don’t look!" Yi Qingge snapped to his senses and tried to cover the eyes of Yi Qinglian beside him.
But it was no use.
Yi Qinglian immediately threw off Yi Qingge’s hand.
Her mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning. She couldn’t accept that Shaximo, the future Sect Leader of the Esoteric Sect who had always been so solemn and dignified, had... wet himself in front of her!
What in the world was happening?
Zhang Hongying was actually asking herself the same question. ’What in the world is happening? Why can Gao Neng withstand it, but Shaximo can’t?’
’Impossible! Gao Neng’s face clearly changed just now. It turned pale, which is a sign of energy depletion. Why did he recover in an instant?’ Zhang Hongying’s mouth hung open. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to calm down; the problem was, she couldn’t calm down in the face of this result.
"Hahaha, I told you Gao Neng was better than this monk!" Fang Tangtang’s laughter sounded particularly wild and unrestrained in the research lab.
"Mm," Shen Ning’Er nodded.
’Actually, she wasn’t too worried about Gao Neng’s stamina. After all, she had witnessed it once during the college entrance exams.’
’That time, it was a test of heavy pressure.’
’But Gao Neng’s performance had far surpassed that of an ordinary person. This suggested that the energy in his blood could indeed grant him some special changes.’
’Is it because of that special energy contained in his blood again?’
Shen Ning’Er arrived at this explanation once more. If this speculation was true, then the energy in Gao Neng’s blood was truly something special.
"I never expected Junior Gao Neng to be this strong!" Lin Ying had some understanding of Gao Neng, but seeing this for himself still left him in awe.
In the pressure testing chamber.
Shaximo’s face was a mixture of red and white. He could feel he had reached his limit. If it weren’t for Gao Neng, he would have called for a stop long ago.
But now, Gao Neng hadn’t fallen!
Gao Neng was still standing!
Yet he himself had already wet his pants...
’So, did this mean he had lost this "drinking contest"?’
’No, I will not lose!’ Shaximo was truly unwilling to accept this. His gaze shifted outside, and he saw Yi Qinglian’s shocked expression.
’Wetting myself in front of the woman I love.’
’This is an absolute disgrace.’
He knew that if he kept going, he would probably embarrass himself even further. But he would rather die than accept stopping and calling it quits now.
’Gao Neng, even if I have to wear myself down, I’ll wear you down to death!’ Shaximo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He decided to use his own disgraceful state to drag Gao Neng down with him.
’After all, in his mind, he was already at his limit. No matter how strong Gao Neng was, he couldn’t be that much stronger. He must be a spent force.’
In that case.
’Let’s take each other down together!’
’I’ve already wet myself anyway, so I’ll just have to drag Gao Neng down to wet himself with me.’
"Shaximo, do you want to stop?" A researcher noticed Shaximo’s condition and immediately activated the audio transmission to the glass chamber.
"No, I can still hold on! I can still hold on!" Shaximo refused. He wanted to go down together with Gao Neng. He couldn’t be the only one to wet himself.
Only if we both do it does it really count!
His gaze left Yi Qinglian, and he turned to look at Gao Neng in the adjacent chamber.
Then, he saw that Gao Neng was also looking at him, waving enthusiastically as if to greet him, while also pointing a finger at his own rear end.
’What is he saying? My butt?’ The thought flashed through Shaximo’s mind, and he immediately realized something was wrong. If he hadn’t thought about it, it might not have been so bad, but the moment he did, his whole body felt like it had been zapped by electricity.
Oh no!
Before Shaximo could shake off the thought, he felt something unidentifiable spray out from his rear, and he couldn’t stop it at all.
"SQUELCH!"
"!!!" Shaximo’s head was buzzing. ’He, the great number one on the Dragon List, a Tier Six Late Stage expert, had competed with Gao Neng to the point of shitting his pants?!’
’He shat his pants!’
’How could he endure this?!’
Outside the glass chamber.
The disciples from the sects and influential families also sensed something was off. Although they couldn’t hear the sound Shaximo made, they could still see the lump hanging down from under his pants...
And most importantly, that lump was continuously sinking lower.
Because more and more... stuff... was continuously spraying out from inside, unable to be stopped.
"..." The disciples of the sects and influential families.
"..." Wang Jun and the others from the Military Department.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
As for Shaximo, he had a complete breakdown.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and his legs could no longer hold him steady.
THUD!
Shaximo fell to his knees.
His face and body were covered in sweat.
He had truly reached his limit. Or rather, he had actually reached it long ago. The current pressure was completely beyond what he could bear.
"Quick, stop it! Stop it for Shaximo!" Zhang Hongying had no choice but to intervene. Although the sonar wouldn’t cause irreversible damage to the human body...
...if someone stubbornly pushed past their limits...
...some problems could still arise.
She couldn’t let that happen.
CLICK! The researcher decisively pressed the stop button.
The sounds from Shaximo’s glass chamber could finally be heard outside.
"NO!!!" The sound was truly heart-wrenching.
In contrast, Gao Neng still stood as firm as a mountain. He was still enduring the level-8 pressure, yet he had not fallen.
"Gao Neng... he can still hold on?!"
"Is he a monster?"
"Level-8 pressure! How on earth is he enduring it?"
This time, it wasn’t just the disciples from the sects and influential families who were in disbelief; even Wang Jun and the others from the Military Department found it hard to believe.
It was too terrifying!
He’s still holding on?!
If this was real, what level had Gao Neng’s metabolism reached? It was probably stronger than that of a normal high-tier individual, right?
Energy absorption, conversion, and release!
This was an extremely important data metric. It represented how long a person could last under extreme conditions, representing their sustained combat capability.
A monster!
Truly a monster!
...
「In an office in the Federation Government Building.」
The goateed Speaker and several council members were also staring at the screen.
"Are you sure Gao Neng is under level-8 pressure? Could your daughter be helping him cheat?" one council member asked.
The other council members also turned their gazes to a stern-faced council member.
"Do you really think Hong Ying would help Gao Neng cheat?" The stern-faced council member was actually conflicted, but he would never believe that his daughter was cheating behind the scenes.
’How is that possible?’
’His daughter clearly wanted to see Gao Neng make a fool of himself!’
’Why would she help him cheat?’
