    “You! Damned!”


    Even after suffering the attacks of Zhou Chen and the lightning man, the golden-armored man did not seem to be seriously injured. Instead, he recovered from the frozen state, and a strange dense energy erupted from his body. He forced back the two, and at the same time, he shouted with anger in his eyes.


    “Tsk, if you want to fight, fight. Why talk so much?”


    Zhou Chen did not care about the golden-armored man’s explosive appearance. He was close to fully stacking Berserk passive skill. His strength and speed had increased by 210%, and his recovery speed was also extremely fast. He could already escape the situation of being beaten one sidedly.


    He circted his Eight Destes True Energy and instantly closed in on the golden-armored man, and punched his head.


    However, the golden-armored man was clearly paying more attention to Zhou Chen. The moment Zhou Chen approached him, the feeling of being trapped in a swamp and unable to move appeared again. Even though the pressure on Zhou Chen had decreased greatly, he was unable to touch the golden-armored man. He could only release the Eight Destes True Energy to bombard the man.


    This time, the Freeze passive did not trigger. He was barely able to raise his arm to defend before he was sent into the sea again by the golden-armored man’s fist, stirring up ring-shaped waves.


    “The Berserk passive is finally filled.”


    When he fell into the sea, Zhou Chen felt that his arm, which seemed to have suffered bone fractures, had already recovered instantly. He immediately stepped on the water and flew to the sky like a cannonball, continuing to attack the golden-armored man.


    The golden-armored man was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the lightning man. He seemed to have already adapted to the lightning man’s super high speed, and relied on some predictions to dodge the attacks. Fortunately, the lightning man still had the advantage in speed. Even if his attacks did not seed, he could still narrowly escape the counterattacks.


    When the golden-armored man sensed Zhou Chen returning so quickly, he was clearly surprised. He had just forced back the lightning man when he sensed that the undying guy had appeared behind him again.


    He quickly turned around and punched at Zhou Chen’s head with all his might.


    In an instant, Zhou Chen, who was approaching the golden-armored man at high speed, felt the restriction of a y ox entering the sea again. However, this time, his speed and strength were greater. Not only could he defend, but he could also counterattack.


    When the golden-armored man’s golden fists smashed towards his head, he immediately punched out to meet the other party’s attack head-on.


    Zhou Chen was instantly sent flying hundreds of meters, and the golden-armored man was also knocked back ten or so meters.


    “My full strength is weaker than his? But it’s okay, as long as I cane into contact with him.”


    Zhou Chen was not flustered when he realized that he was at a disadvantage in the battle. Previously, he could only attack from afar with his Eight Destes True Energy which only scratched the golden armored man and he would end up taking a beating for nothing. Now, he could at least exchange punches. As long as he could touch the other party, he would not lose out and could trigger several passive skills to cause damage.


    Zhou Chen turned around and charged forward again.


    In the sky, the lightning man had already tacitly begun to harass the golden-armored man, making it impossible for him to focus on Zhou Chen.


    “It’s indeed a good thing to have a helper. Little Red, attack after I attack!” This time, while charging at the golden-armored man who was fighting in the sky, Zhou Chen gave the order to Little Red, who was hiding in his left ring.


    In fact, Little Red had expressed that she wanted to fight through the spiritual connection. However, Zhou Chen thought that the other party was too strong and that it was very likely that Little Red would die for nothing.


    However, it was different now. Zhou Chen had already stacked berserking to the maximum and could just barely fight the golden-armored man. During the battle, Little Red’s appearance could be a variable that might have some effect.


    Therefore, when Zhou Chen’s fist hit the golden-armored man’s kick, Little Red suddenly charged out of the ring. Her red figure instantly approached the other party and stabbed her sharp fingers into the other party’s eyes!


    This situation did not seem to be within the golden-armored man’s expectations, but his reaction speed was astonishingly fast. He immediately leaned back and raised one hand to protect his eyes while the other attacked Little Red.


    “Little Red can pierce through physical obstacles. He should not be able to defend against her.”


    Although the golden-armored man’s response had allowed him to avoid having his eyes stabbed, it had also weakened his threat to Zhou Chen. Therefore, Zhou Chen firmly blocked his attack this time and was still able to observe Little Red’s situation.


    However, Little Red did not pierce through the golden-armored man’s defense as he had expected. Instead, her figure suddenly froze and she was smashed by the golden-armored man’s fist to the ind below. She looked as fragile as a leaf, and even her scarlet body paled.


    “What’s going on?!”


    Seeing that his summoned creature had been seriously injured, Zhou Chen was shocked, but he was not displeased. When Little Red’s figure stiffened, he felt the pressure on his body lighten. He immediately exploded with speed and punched the golden-armored man ruthlessly.


    The lightning man who had been moving at high speed also took the opportunity to add two more burn marks to the golden-armored man.


    However, these attacks still could not heavily injure the golden-armored man. Freeze passive did not trigger this time too. Instead, Zhou Chen quickly felt the pressure return. The golden-armored man punched left and right, sending the two people flying.


    The battle above the ind returned to the previous state. Zhou Chen and the lightning man continued to attack the golden-armored man. Zhou Chen relied on his powerful body and the terrifying recovery speed provided by the Berserk to fight, while the lightning man mainly relied on his high speed to engage inbat.


    The battle between the two sides continued for a long time. Day turned to night, and night turned to day. By the time the battle was nearing the end, the ind hadpletely sunk from the aftershocks of the battle.


    The golden armor on the golden-armored man’s body had shattered. He fell weakly like a corpse.


    Zhou Chen’s condition was not very good. His entire body was drenched in blood, and his clothes were in tatters. Even the gold ring on his left hand and the Frost Ne on his neck had beenpletely destroyed in the previous battle and fell into the sea.


    As for the lightning man, he no longer had the lightning special effect surrounding his body. He looked very pale and weak. He was lying on the surface of the sea. Only his slightly opened eyes told that he was still alive.


    “Cough cough, so maintaining the Berserk mode for too long has side effects. After fighting for a day, I feel like my body is about to copse.” Zhou Chen was also descending with the golden-armored man. He had taken the initiative to cancel the Berserk state because he was already feeling that his body had reached its limit.


    “I want to fall into the sea to rest, but this f*cker is not dead yet. I can’t give up now.”


    Zhou Chen was extremely exhausted both mentally and physically. He was so exhausted that he wanted to fall into the sea and sleep without caring if the world ended.


    However, the system announcement had not appeared, reminding him that the golden-armored man was not dead yet. If he did not want to waste all the previous efforts, he would have to continue attacking him.


    However, the problem was that Zhou Chen really did not have much strength left. After more than a day of high-intensitybat, even with his astonishing physique, he had reached the limit. His mental strength was exhausted, and the Eight Destes True Energy in his body was like a withered tree that could not be squeezed out. Even if he could squeeze it out, he did not dare to, because his intuition told him that if he continued to attack violently, his entire body would copse and he might directly die.


    “I can only do this. I didn’t expect that I, a grand martial arts master, would actually have to use such a method.”


    Zhou Chen forced himself to think. When he was still a distance away from falling into the water with the golden-armored man, he finally thought of a solution.


    He raised his hand with some difficulty and took out a technological creation from the inventory: a revolver.


    He had collected this revolver as a souvenir in the Apocalypse World and had no hopes of using it in actualbat. But now, he could only pray that it was powerful enough.


    “It should be possible. This gun is quite powerful. I even loaded it before I ced it in my inventory.”


    Zhou Chen slowly raised his other hand and opened the safety of the gun. Then, he held the gun in both hands and pulled the trigger at the golden-armored man who was falling not far away.


    If the golden-armored man were in his previous state, Zhou Chen would definitely not be stupid enough to attack him with the pistol because it was clearly useless. But it was different now. The golden-armored man had umted arge number of injuries in the battle, and most of the golden armor on his body had been damaged. He had almost lost consciousness, and his defensive ability was close to zero.


    Bang!


    With a gunshot, Zhou Chen and the golden-armored man fell into the water. Under the impact of the seawater, his grip on the revolver loosened.


    “He’s not dead yet, it clearly hit just now.”


    Zhou Chen felt a little regretful that he did not hear the system’s announcement. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and let himself sink to the bottom of the sea.


    He was not doing this because he had given up on his life, but because he knew that he could breathe underwater. Under the sea was the previous ind, and the depth was not very deep. The long battle had long driven away the nearby fish, so lying below the surface to rest was not a bad choice.


    “You killed…”


    After closing his eyes, Zhou Chen vaguely heard the system’s announcement, but he was too tired to check the details. The shot had exhausted hisst bit of energy, and he fell asleep.


    After an unknown period of time, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes.


    He felt his entire body being suppressed, as if he was covered in an iron nket.


    “I’m still in the sea? Looks like that lightning man did not look for me. His condition is not much better than mine, this is normal.” Zhou Chen was relieved to discover that his condition was not too bad. Then, he opened the system interface to check.


    He realized that there was quite a lot of information.


    [You have killed an Earth God Descendant (Slight Divine Power) (Weakened State). Reward: Divinity Essence (Small)]


    [Divinity Essence (Small)


    Type: Low Gold item


    This is the essence of a precious divinity. After consuming it, it will give you a certain level of divinity, and also strengthen your body.


    Note: After umting enough divinity, you can condense godhood. You can then ignite the divine spark to be a God.]


    [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skills of an Earth God Descendant (Slight Divine Power) (Weakened State): Physique Enhancement V, Giant Strength V, Monolith V, Suppression V. Detected that they are superior to your current passive skills. They will automatically be reced.]


    [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skills of an Earth God descendant (Slight Divine Power) (Weakened State): Gravity Control V, Earth Pressure V, Enforce V. Do you want to absorb them?]


    [Gravity Control V]


    Type: Mid Silver passive skill


    You can control the gravity’s effect on yourself. You can change the direction and magnitude of the gravity(the maximum increase is five times).]


    [Earth Pressure V


    Type: Mid Silver passive skill


    The enemy you pay attention to will be suppressed by the power of the earth, slowing their speed by up to 99%.


    The weaker the enemy, the greater the suppression effect.]


    [Enforce V


    Type: Mid Silver passive skill


    Your physical attacks are effective against all enemies in all forms. Spiritual entities will suffer 60% damage.]


    “So that person in the golden armor is an Earth God Descendant. He has Physique Enhancement and Monolith passive skills. No wonder he is so tanky. The ability he used to suppress me was the passive skill, Earth Pressure. He was able to hit Little Red due to Enforce.” Looking at the system’s records, Zhou Chen felt that many of his questions had been answered. He immediately absorbed the passive skills.


    As a wave of mysterious energy descended and transformed his body, Zhou Chen quickly felt a strange feeling that let him know that he could control his own gravity, suppress the opponent he targeted, and attack spiritual entities with physical attacks.


    Then, he opened his character interface and realized that his physique had increased by 2.3, from 5.8 to 8.1.


    The Giant Strength passive skill’s strength increment effect also increased from 1.9 physique to 4.5, increasing by 2.6.


    “Myprehensive evaluation has reached the high level…”


    He then nced at theprehensive evaluation at the bottom of the interface and realized that it was no longer mid silver, but high silver.
