Chapter 34: The Power of Great Warriors!
High-level beast!
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled fiercely. If it were an ordinary high-level beast, they wouldn't care; a single great warrior would be enough to counter it. However, if it were a high-level Mighty Ant, which had high-level strength talents on top of being a high-level beast, its amplified attack power would not be far off from a grandmaster's.
A high-level Mighty Ant was definitely not something an ordinary great warrior could handle. Even Elder Qing, who was an exceptionally strong great warrior, would not be a match for it.
Perhaps only a heaven-defying great warrior with a similar offensive talent, or a grandmaster, could deal with this high-level Mighty Ant.
"Staying here means death," Ye Tian realized.
Without a second thought, he activated his triple speed and fled into the distance. Originally, his speed was only average among elite warriors, but with triple acceleration, he was not inferior to the top elite warriors, even surpassing some.
In an instant, Ye Tian's figure overtook many elite warriors.
Boom!
A gigantic Mighty Ant appeared. It was twenty meters long and had a faint golden hue, unlike the regular black Mighty Ants.
As soon as this Mighty Ant appeared, a sense of oppression enveloped the entire area.
"So heavy!" Ye Tian felt as if something was pressing down on him.
This wasn't gravity but a form of aura suppression. If one couldn't break free from this suppression, their speed would be reduced significantly, making escape impossible.
The speed of the elite warriors suddenly slowed down by several times, while the great warriors were not as affected. Although their speed also decreased, it was only by about 30 to 40 percent, much faster than the elite warriors.
"Sword Aura!"

Ye Tian released the aura of his swordsmanship, which was at the grandmaster level, strong enough to resist the Mighty Ant's oppressive aura.
The suppression lifted, and Ye Tian's speed returned to triple, even matching the speed of the great warriors.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Warriors scattered, fleeing in all directions. The high-level Mighty Ant, even if it wanted to chase and kill, would not go after Ye Tian but would target the warriors closer to it.
Thus, those elite warriors were doomed.
As for Elder Qing, after warning the other warriors, he was the first to flee, without any intention of fighting the high-level Mighty Ant.
"Ahhhh!"
One after another, elite warriors fell under the pursuit of the high-level Mighty Ant. They didn't even have the qualifications to resist and were slaughtered like ants.
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen elite warriors were killed.
Accelerate!
Accelerate!
Ye Tian didn't even think about looking back; he just focused on running.
He didn't know how far he had run, but when he felt that there were no warriors or Mighty Ants behind him, he finally looked back.
When he confirmed that there were no pursuing Mighty Ants, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He found a random place and stopped to rest. After running like mad, his elemental energy was almost depleted, and his physical strength was severely drained.
If he didn't recover quickly, wandering in the wilderness would be extremely dangerous.
He quickly drank a bottle of strength-recovering elixir to restore his internal energy.
Several hours later, Ye Tian was fully recovered.
Immediately, he returned to the valley where Feng Lang and the others were.
"Ye Tian, you're back!" Feng Lang was overjoyed upon seeing Ye Tian.
He had been worried about Ye Tian, and now that he saw him return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quickly, let's go back to Linhai Base. Something big has happened!" Ye Tian said with a grave expression.
"What big thing has happened?" Feng Lang and the others asked with furrowed brows.
Ye Tian quickly recounted the events involving the Mighty Ants, causing the complexions of Feng Lang and the others to change dramatically. A large number of low-level Mighty Ants, more than a dozen mid-level Mighty Ants, and one nearly invincible high-level Mighty Ant—what a terrifying force that was!
Although Feng Lang and the others hadn't witnessed it themselves, they could roughly guess the situation from Ye Tian's tone. At the same time, they admired Ye Tian's abilities; so many elite warriors had died, yet Ye Tian had returned unscathed.
"Let's go, we've already completed our mission anyway," Feng Lang hurriedly said.
So, Ye Tian and Feng Lang and the others headed back in the direction of Linhai Base. Along the way, they remained vigilant. Unfortunately, they encountered several mid-level beasts on their return journey. Thankfully, Ye Tian's intervention averted a crisis.
Half a day later, they finally returned to Linhai Base.
...
Once back home, the first thing Ye Tian did was to integrate the high-level strength talent. His abilities had already been exposed during the Mighty Ant incident, including even his speed talent. Although it was unclear whether any families would act against him, increasing his strength as quickly as possible was necessary.
Once he integrated the high-level strength talent, he would definitely possess combat power not inferior to that of a great warrior, even overpowering ordinary great warriors.
"Integrate!"
A violent transformation began. Ye Tian's body resembled a cooked shrimp, with veins bulging out as a terrifying force erupted from the depths of his genes, transforming him from head to toe.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was soaked in sweat, as if he had just emerged from a pool.
Soon, Ye Tian's strength returned, and he began to check his talent situation.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: High-level
Speed Talent: Low-level
Sword Talent: Mid-level
Shadow Talent: Low-level
Healing Talent: Apex--level
Strength Talent: High-level
Looking at the high-level strength talent, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.
"Let's test the strength!"
Ye Tian grabbed a piece of steel and gently squeezed it with his strength talent activated. The steel transformed as if it were mud. He then lightly stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack and the surrounding area to shake violently.
Without precise instruments to measure his strength, Ye Tian could only test it repeatedly and finally made an estimate.
"Originally, my strength was 30,000 jin (catties). After being amplified by the high-level strength talent, my strength can reach 300,000 jin!" Ye Tian exclaimed in delight.
What did 300,000 jin of strength mean? If elemental energy amplification was added, the pure attack power could reach 600,000 kilograms. The limit for elite warriors was only 100,000 jin, and some newly-promoted great warriors had physical strength of only around 110,000 to 120,000 jin. Most early-stage great warriors had only 150,000 jin of strength.
"Those mid-level Mighty Ants are basically at the initial stage of elite warriors. They should also have low-level bloodline talents and were just fortunate to grow to the mid-level beast stage. That's why, under the amplification of high-level strength talent, even a great warrior finds it difficult to kill them. If those mid-level beasts were a little higher in level, a single mid-level Mighty Ant could easily hunt down an ordinary great warrior," Ye Tian thought.
At this point, he finally understood why Elder Qing had fled so quickly. Faced with a high-level Mighty Ant, if it came to a direct confrontation, Elder Qing would likely be instantly killed. However, although the high-level Mighty Ant's strength was heaven-defying, its speed and reaction time were still at the early stage of a great warrior, which is why it couldn't catch up to Elder Qing.
"With my current strength, killing an ordinary great warrior is a piece of cake! But if a mid-stage great warrior wants to escape, I can't stop them, nor can I catch up," Ye Tian had a clear understanding of his own strength.
