"How is it?! Are you hurt? Are they coming after you now? How many of them?" Qian Kai, having faced the opponent before, deeply understood the terrifying strength they possessed.
If there was only one person, although he wouldn't be a match, he could at least ensure his own survival. But after one was severely injured, several more had appeared out of nowhere!
Moreover, his speed was not inferior to theirs. Just as he arrived here with all his might, they followed closely behind, clearly not part of the group that had been temporarily delayed!
At least a few Momentum Level experts were already hunting down Hades and himself, and yet they could still dispatch another wave of assassins. The determination of the opponent's actions this time was evident!
They likely wanted to use their overwhelming Advantage to carry out a flawless extermination, unwilling to suffer any losses themselves or allow for even the slightest delay!
A thunderous strike would eliminate the target before they directly withdrew.
He felt that overwhelming force, akin to a disaster, like Destruction itself, which made one submit and extinguished any will to resist. Yet he couldn't specifically gauge the upper limit of that power; he only knew that Yang Xiaoyou had spent three strikes to defeat the opponent, which must have been exceptionally taxing, as evidenced by the pale complexion on their face.
Perhaps due to that terrifying strength, they had repelled one wave of attackers, but there were still several Momentum Level experts ready to provide support at any moment!
Just looking at his current exhausted state revealed how difficult the initial battle had been.
However, achieving this was already quite terrifying. When Momentum Level experts coordinated their attacks, just being hit by two at the same time made it nearly impossible to defend. With their thin skin and high attack power, if even one could land a hit, it could end the fight instantly.
The demands for evasion and control over the battle were pushed to the extreme.
"Five of them; I'm fine for now. I need to eat something." The somewhat hoarse tone gave Yang Xiaoyou an air of sickly fragility as he walked toward the group of hunters who were gathered together with grim expressions and guns in hand.
Faced with this boy who had initially listened to their adventurous tales approaching them, the remaining hunters instinctively parted ways.
"The burial costs for your companions will be covered. For now, I’ll borrow your prey." Yang Xiaoyou's somewhat dazed expression caused those hunters who wanted to speak up to involuntarily close their mouths.
Liang Wuxuan, who had been about to step forward, also halted his movements at this moment, a thoughtful expression flickering across his face as he observed Yang Xiaoyou.
Standing before the corpse of a reindeer, Yang Xiaoyou skillfully used a knife to split open the hide. He then proceeded to slice strips of meat from the reindeer's thigh and stuffed them into his mouth. Each piece appeared small, but due to the rapid pace at which he consumed them, it wasn't long before the entire thigh was reduced to bone.
He didn't even spare the bones, breaking them apart to suck out the marrow inside. The sight of his blood-smeared mouth filled Huang Yue and the two accompanying students with terror.
At that moment, Qian Kai, who had just recovered from the shock of dealing with five pursuers, couldn't help but remind him, "After such intense exercise, it's not suitable to overeat."
"It's fine. There were a total of fifteen of them who came to Greenland, each at the level of power. After Hades injured one, there are still nine left. Soon enough, they will sense something is wrong over there. I need to recover my strength quickly; it won't be this easy later," Yang Xiaoyou said indifferently as he continued to 'savor' the strips of meat.
However, beneath his calm exterior, his heart was anything but tranquil. After learning about his opponent Kane An, Yang Xiaoyou felt as if his mind had exploded. This time was completely different from previous instances of losing control; he felt like an observer watching his 'rational' self from the sidelines.
His inner persona had awakened entirely, and the power that erupted from it sent chills down his spine. It seemed as though he had gained precise control over every cell in his body, pushing his current abilities to their limits.
Faced with several strong opponents at the Momentum Level, including high-ranking ones surrounding him, he executed direct kills with ease!
This was fundamentally different from relying solely on brute force. He had merely exhausted his stored energy without surpassing his physical limits. Under precise control, he danced on the edge of his capabilities; his power surged explosively without exceeding his body's load!
There was an essential difference in nature here!
For a long time, due to his brain's control over his body, Yang Xiaoyou had been confident in his mastery of it.
But witnessing the terrifying micro-control of his inner persona made him feel like a frog in a well—his previous self-satisfaction regarding this aspect now seemed naive.
Memory is always just memory! Without personally experiencing that kind of power, one would never understand the gap and horror within it.
If Dream Butterfly pushed mental strength to its limits, then his inner persona had pushed physical prowess to its peak!
With burning cells, boiling blood, and surging vitality—like a disaster unleashed—just a single thought was enough to nearly instantaneously eliminate four opponents!
All four of them were formidable individuals, each capable of standing alone as a top-tier powerhouse. Their exceptional offensive capabilities, combined with the rhythm of their momentum, unleashed an overwhelming force that was undeniably powerful.
Yet, despite their prowess, they had no ability to resist. In an instant, they were annihilated as easily as one might crush a cockroach, unable to unleash even a fraction of their skills.
There was no doubt! No obstacles! No difficulties! It seemed that if there was even a thought to keep them alive, they would remain; merely a fleeting notion was all it took, and this sensation was far more intense than the feeling he experienced after merging with his own momentum.
They completely disregarded their speed, evasion, and exceptional attacks, forcing them to reveal the fragile side of humanity right before his eyes.
However, despite witnessing this, Yang Xiaoyou remained steadfast in his path. The strength of his inner persona stemmed from continuous battles and the results of surpassing his training time. He believed that as long as he continued on his chosen path, he would eventually reach or even exceed that level.
This time, however, the awakening of his inner persona not only drained all his stored energy but also consumed three full hours on Kane An before finally dissipating in satisfaction.
Yang Xiaoyou didn’t even know if he had ‘ascended’ after feeling fulfilled or if he had hidden himself away again among the shattered memory fragments like before.
But none of that was urgent; what mattered most now was how the opponent would act after three hours of delay and what had become of Hades and his fellow.
No matter how outstanding the core members of Hive Security Company were, after suffering heavy losses and actively restraining so many Momentum Level powerhouses, they must have failed by now. It remained uncertain whether they had been killed on the spot or captured alive. He needed to recover his strength quickly before they noticed.
Without fully awakened abilities from his inner persona, facing nine remaining combat-capable Momentum Level powerhouses would be quite stressful. After this unexpected turn of events, his initial plan to wear them down in the Snowfield would likely be unfeasible; he couldn’t afford to expend energy like that now.
