To use ship displacement as an analogy, that was equivalent to 2,097,000 tons.
What did that mean? Aside from China and the United States, no other country’s navy had a total displacement that reached this tonnage. The third-ranked country, Big Mao, didn’t even have half of this.
Li Xiang was thrilled. This meant he could go on another massive looting spree for supplies. ’The nations of Southeast Asia are out of luck again.’ Of course, as his Otherworldly Warehouse continued to expand, the entire world was his "granary."
He wouldn’t just be looting food, but all kinds of supplies. He wouldn’t let anything useful slip by.
There were still eight or nine years to go. The task of just filling the warehouse would be enough to keep him busy.
Moreover, Li Xiang was quite "ethical." He wouldn’t wait until one or two years before the Apocalypse to start his mass looting. After the Apocalypse arrived, supplies would become scarce. By starting nine to ten years early and looting a little each year, he would put less pressure on the world’s population.
Of course, certain countries would receive his "special attention."
By now, the sky outside had long since brightened. Li Xiang didn’t leave, but continued the slaughter, charging back and forth through the cave as he tumbled and rolled. Some bats escaped, but it didn’t matter. There were simply too many; it was impossible to kill them all.
Li Xiang estimated that this cave housed at least four to five million bats, not the two million reported online. It might even be more—seven or eight million?
In any case, he had no time to count how many he’d killed. He couldn’t count them anyway, and he couldn’t be bothered to try. All he had to do was keep killing.
Under round after round of ultrasound attacks, the bats were as good as blind, unable to get their bearings. Only a few managed to escape; he had wiped out the vast majority!
He kept killing until about eight or nine in the morning, when he could faintly hear what sounded like tourists outside. Only then did Li Xiang’s figure flicker, transforming into a black shadow as he burst out of the cave.
As luck would have it, his back-and-forth slaughter had just brought him back to the entrance he had previously blocked.
The dozens of giant stones blocking the entrance came crashing down under his impact.
Outside the cave, sure enough, there were faint human figures in the distance, pointing and murmuring amongst themselves. They were probably wondering who could have done this, blocking the cave mouth with so many huge stones.
Then, those people saw a mysterious black shadow burst out. The giant stones collapsed and poured down like a landslide, leaving them all in stunned disbelief.
When it rained heavily, this cave entrance would form a spectacular 150-meter-high waterfall. But now, the "landslide" that poured and rumbled down was even more magnificent.
But before any of them could get a clear look, the black shadow had vanished. freёwebnovel.com
With Li Xiang sprinting at an Extreme Speed of 1.5 Mach, how could those mere mortals possibly track his figure with their naked eyes?
All that remained near the cave were numerous eagles, circling overhead.
These eagles were here to hunt the bats returning to the cave in the morning. Similarly, when the bats flew out at dusk, it was a feeding frenzy for the eagles.
From now on, however, these eagles would likely be disappointed. There would no longer be such a massive number of bats that they could snatch one at will and eat their fill.
Li Xiang sprinted north. After about seventy or eighty kilometers, he saw the sea and dove straight in, swimming underwater to wash the filth from his body.
This was the South China Sea. He was back in China with a single dive.
He came to a deserted island reef, lay down to rest, and took the opportunity to sort through his spoils.
"This many?"
Li Xiang was stunned. He saw that his Achievement Points had reached a terrifying total of over 1.23 million. Subtracting the 80,000-plus he already had, his earnings from this one trip amounted to more than 1.15 million.
Furthermore, he had obtained more than 35,000 Spiritual Medicines, ranging from Tier One to Tier Nine. He also received two Extraordinary Items: a blood-red Space Gemstone with about three cubic meters of internal space, and a pair of Tier Eleven Demon’s Wings. The wings allowed him to fly, but unfortunately, they weren’t fast—only about thirty to forty meters per second, roughly one-tenth the speed of sound.
Both of these items were rather useless to him, but for other Extraordinary Beings, they were absolute treasures.
Spatial equipment was even rarer and more precious than Extraordinary Armor, and an Extraordinary Item that granted flight was no less valuable than spatial equipment.
This was because no one below Saint Tier could fly, unless their awakened Lifebound Superpower was flight, and even then, the speed was usually not fast.
Even Saint Tier beings who could fly weren’t very fast.
At Li Xiang’s current speed, skimming along at low altitudes was no problem at all. For him, perhaps the only use for these Demon’s Wings was to hover in the air for extended periods or to fly to high places that he couldn’t reach by jumping.
’I didn’t just gather the Achievement Points I planned for, I far exceeded the goal. Looks like my top speed can go beyond 3 Mach!’
Li Xiang immediately began to upgrade his "Giant Power" and "Divine Movement Technique" Inscriptions.
He upgraded "Giant Power" first. Without upgrading Giant Power, enhancing "Divine Movement Technique" would be useless, as his body wouldn’t be strong enough to withstand such high speeds.
He raised the Attribute of "Giant Power" to a strength of 60,000 kilograms. This was accompanied by an enhancement of his entire body’s toughness—from his sinews and bones to his skin, flesh, and internal organs.
Without an increase in physical strength, how could he exert 60,000 kilograms of force?
Then, he boosted the Extreme Speed of his "Divine Movement Technique" to 3 Mach, which was the combined effect of two stacked Inscriptions.
This cost him a total of 360,000 Achievement Points.
This was because after advancing to Tier Seven, his existing Superpowers had also been enhanced. Generally speaking, each tier advancement would boost them by 5% to 20%. Li Xiang’s, however, had received the maximum boost, with each Superpower strengthening by about 20%.
