LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 764: Chapter 726: No Need for Regrets

When Chief He Nan successively shattered the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth-Level Defense Nets, Rocky had come to fully acknowledge his strength, but to Rocky’s surprise, He Nan himself was not satisfied. He actually wanted to challenge the Level 7 Defense Net!

To everyone, this seemed like an incredible feat since even the Sixth-Level Defense Net was already beyond the capability of a normal person to break with their bare hands. One could imagine the strength of the Level 7 Defense Net. He Nan, after breaking through three defense nets in a row, must have also anticipated the strength of the Level 7, yet he still wished to challenge it.

Rocky couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up in his heart upon hearing this; regardless of whether Chief He Nan ended up succeeding in challenging the Level 7 Defense Net, his determination alone was enough to win respect. Perhaps it was precisely this never-ending pursuit of challenges that had made him the Fireteng Tribe’s strongest warrior.

Following this, Rocky nodded to the researchers beside him, and the researchers activated the Level 7 Defense Net.

Facing the Level 7 Defense Net before him, He Nan truly prepared himself this time, slowly adjusting his breathing and stance, standing in front of the defense net for a long, long time.

Others might have considered such behavior a sign of a lack of confidence, but for He Nan, it was different. Everyone knew he was adjusting his state and accumulating his strength, as without doing so, it was impossible to shatter the Level 7 Defense Net.

After a full five minutes, Chief He Nan, stalwart as Mount Tai in front of the defense net, suddenly let out a roar and threw a punch!

“Roar!!!”

In the midst of his roaring, He Nan’s fist struck like a cannonball, fiercely slamming into the defense net. The punch was so powerful that one could clearly see the veins bulging on his arm. It was undoubtedly He Nan’s all-out strike.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the fist heavily collided with the defense net, the force was so strong that a faint shock wave spread outwards, and next, a crackling sound was heard as the part of the defense net hit by the fist began to fracture, slowly splitting apart like a shattered mirror!

“He did it!”

“The Chief did it!”

As the defense net fractured bit by bit, the Beastmen behind He Nan immediately let out a roar-like cheer, as if they themselves had succeeded in the challenge. Likewise, Rocky couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. Although this time the defense net didn’t break as easily as the previous ones, it still shattered under He Nan’s punch, which was proof enough of how formidable his strength was. It was no exaggeration to say that with that single punch, He Nan could have been considered the strongest warrior under Rocky’s command!

“Chief He Nan is truly as renowned as they say.”

After He Nan withdrew his punch, Rocky gave him a thumbs-up. The title of the Fireteng Tribe’s strongest warrior was evidently not unwarranted. Just from this test alone, it was clear that He Nan’s strength far surpassed that of other Beastmen by not just a couple of levels, explaining why he was called the tribe’s strongest warrior.

“Lord Rocky, you flatter me. This is already my limit, unfortunately, I cannot challenge a stronger defense net.”

After retracting his fist, although He Nan was quite pleased, he still felt a bit of regret, for only he knew best that his last punch truly was his all-out effort, and it had done no more than fracture the defense net, not utterly destroying it as he had done previously. Therefore, challenging the Level 8 Defense Net was certainly out of the question, which was somewhat disappointing.

“Hehe, no need to rush, no need to rush. Once the new armor is complete, you will naturally be able to challenge even stronger defense nets.”

Rocky merely smiled in response to He Nan’s expression of regret, because as he said, once the new Armor was complete, both He Nan’s and other Beastmen’s strength would surely increase by several levels due to the armor’s enhancement. By then, they could challenge whatever level of defense net they desired.

In fact, that was exactly why Rocky had specially crafted special armor for the Beastmen. In today’s era, the limits of personal strength are ultimately defined. We live in a time dominated by high technology. For example, He Nan’s strength can be considered incredibly strong, even the strongest among Rocky’s subordinates, but the strongest defense net he could challenge was only Level 7. In contrast, Rocky’s limit was only Second Level. Under normal conditions, he couldn’t even break a Third-Level Defense Net. So what?

Rocky indeed could not break a Third-Level Defense Net in his normal state, but once he donned the White Demon Armor, he could shatter up to a Level Fifteen Defense Net!

Each level of defense net is more than twice as strong as the previous one, so could you please calculate the difference between the Level 7 and Level Fifteen Defense Nets? This was the gap between He Nan and Rocky equipped with the White Demon Armor. Hence, in this era, no matter how strong a person is, it’s of no use without the assistance of Armor — they really can’t accomplish anything.

To design an armor truly fit for the Beastmen, simply collecting a part of the data was insufficient. Thus, when the strength test concluded, Rocky had He Nan and the other Beastmen rest for a while before beginning the other tests.

There were many aspects to these other tests as well, such as speed, endurance, and other physical indicators that all needed to be measured. Testing just one group was obviously inadequate, especially since there were as many as eight hundred Beastman Warriors. The few people He Nan brought this time didn’t represent the average level of all Beastman Warriors, so Rocky felt that at least three to five batches of Beastmen should be tested to obtain data with reference value.

Consequently, the tests naturally became very lengthy, and Rocky definitely couldn’t accompany the Beastmen through all the tests every single time as he did today; there was no need for that. So, for the next few days of testing, he left it to other people at the research institute to oversee with He Nan, while he went on to attend to other matters.

During these few days, the Apple Tree Corporation had delivered the second batch of Rune Battleships as promised.

Archimonde had mentioned before that the Chamber of Commerce would soon deliver the second batch of Rune Battleships to Thunderhawk City, and after a week-long wait, these new warships finally arrived.

Just like the last time, the Apple Tree Corporation delivered no fewer than a hundred warships, and this batch of warships was not only made up of Rune Armor but also consisted of brand-new models. The sole difference from the previous shipment was that this time the hundred warships were a higher level, even more formidable destroyers!
