Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 964: Secret Competition
With both hands moving at the same time, Li Jiu's speed instantly doubled.
But fortunately, his spiritual power is far stronger than that of awakened people of the same level, so he can do this.
Otherwise, if it was like that woman Xu Xin, although she was also an awakener in the middle stage of the monarch level, she had consumed more than a quarter of her mental power at this time, and her soul was exhausted, so she could not activate the supernatural powers for two people at the same time.
Seeing Li Jiu wielding his hands left and right, the people waiting in the square where he was located couldn't help but show joy on their faces. This way, they could become awakened ones earlier.
However, seeing Li Jiu's speed suddenly increase, the other four awakened people couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Everyone knew how exhausted they were after a day of non-stop work.
Under such circumstances, let alone activating the superpowers for two people at the same time to speed up the work progress, they even felt very exhausted just wanting to maintain the current speed!
Therefore, they looked at Li Jiu as if he were a monster, and couldn't help but wonder how powerful Li Jiu's spiritual power was.
Especially Li Zhen, his eyes when he looked at Li Jiu were full of complex expressions such as shock, jealousy, and disbelief.
He really didn't want to believe that just a month or so ago, this kid whose supernatural power level was not as good as his, now had mental power so strong that it reached a level that he could not reach.
"How could this guy's mental power be so strong?" At the same time, Xu Xin, a woman who was also in the middle stage of the monarch level, glanced at Li Jiu in shock.
As a mid-level monarch awakener, she thought her spiritual power was already extremely strong. However, facing such a huge workload, she would never be able to do it as easily as Li Jiu.
Seeing that Li Jiu's progress was getting faster and faster, the four awakeners couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
You know, although this mission requires them and Li Jiu to complete it together, in the end it only takes five people to check everyone in the fortress within three days.
But at the same time, as those who have awakened their souls, they are all secretly competing with each other!
Everyone hopes to be the first to complete the task of their own team, and does not want to see others complete it first and then come back to help them.
Especially Li Zhen, who knew very well that, judging from the unpleasant experiences he had with Li Jiu, if Li Jiu completed the task ahead of time, he would never come back to help him anyway...
"Hmph! How could we, the noble blue-blooded people, lose to these lowly yellow bugs?!" Looking at the situation on Li Jiu's side, Li Zhen's face changed , and finally he gritted his teeth and thought fiercely in his heart.
As an elite trained by the blue-blooded clan, Li Zhen would never allow himself to lose, especially not to Li Jiu!
So, the next moment, with a rage in his heart, Li Zhen actually imitated Li Jiu's approach, suddenly stretched out his hands, and activated the supernatural powers for both of them at the same time.
However, the result of his lack of strength and his attempt to show off was that he suddenly felt his remaining mental strength, like a flood that had been opened, rushing out uncontrollably!
At the same time, a shaky and fainting feeling suddenly hit his heart.
However, in order not to lose to Li Jiu, Li Zhen had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the increasing fatigue and continue.
"Haha, don't take on a job if you don't have the diamond drill. Doesn't that guy know this simple truth?"
At the same time, while Li Jiu was constantly activating the superpowers for the people around him with his hands, he also took the time to glance at the situation of other people. After seeing that Li Zhen was determined to compete with him in speed regardless of the consequences, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
Li Jiu could conclude that with Li Zhen's current strength, if he continued to hold on like this, although his speed might be able to barely catch up with himself in a short period of time, he would probably faint before he could complete half of the task of his square formation.
In fact, if he tries too hard to hold on to that guy, he might end up overdrawing his mental strength and causing some damage to his soul!
Once the delicate soul is damaged, the person will have to stay in bed for at least ten days or half a month at the very least, and in serious cases, it will even leave irreparable injuries in his soul, which will make it impossible for his subsequent supernatural power level to improve at all!
However, Li Jiu did not have any good feelings towards this arrogant guy, so naturally he did not care about his life or death.
Therefore, in the following period of time, Li Jiu continued to concentrate on completing the tasks on his own side without saying a word.
…
Sunrise and sunset, time flies quietly.
In the blink of an eye, the second day passed.
In order to catch up with the progress, everyone still did not rest on the second day after the mission started.
On the morning of the third day, Li Jiu and others who were still fighting in the fortress had expressions of fatigue several times more intense than the previous day.
Li Jiu was better off. Although he was very tired, fortunately his mental strength had not been consumed by more than half, so he could still maintain his previous speed.
Moreover, since both hands moved at the same time, his speed increased greatly. So far, he has completed more than 90% of the tasks in his square!
And then, as long as he checks the remaining hundreds of people again, he will be able to completely complete his task!
However, the other four people were already sweating profusely. Not only had the speed of activating superpowers for the remaining people slowed down significantly compared to the previous two days, but they even seemed a little weak in their every move.
Especially Li Zhen. Up to now, he has not completed even half of the tasks in his formation.
But at this moment, he was so tired that his face turned pale, and sweat was pouring down his body like rain, already soaking through his clothes.
"No... No! I... I must hold on... I absolutely cannot lose to these yellow people..." The heavy sweat dripping down Li Zhen's forehead blurred his vision. The people in his field of vision began to have double images and were shaking. At the same time, the spiritual power in his soul space had already been consumed by this time. However, in order not to lose to Li Jiu, he still gritted his teeth, forced his soul, and desperately squeezed out strands of spiritual power from it.
However, this situation did not last long.
When he was about to continue squeezing out spiritual power from his soul which had begun to show signs of atrophy, he was suddenly horrified to find that a thin crack had suddenly appeared on the folds of his soul. Immediately afterwards, a piercing and intense pain suddenly struck his heart, causing his face to twitch involuntarily. Then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground unconscious!
