Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1796: Chapter 1799: Almost There

Xin Lifeng listened to Manager Zhang’s explanation, and his mind was a bit overwhelmed.

Although his thinking had become less rigid after meeting Lu Xiaobu, he still found these matters incomprehensible.

Ten thousand ants can’t defeat an elephant, but eighteen can?!

Are you kidding me!

”Boss Xin must be thinking, how could such a gap be so easily overcome?” Manager Zhang smiled slyly.

Xin Lifeng subconsciously nodded.

”No, the gap is actually not that big!” Manager Zhang shook his head and brought up a topic that Xin Lifeng found unbelievable.

”Not that big?!” Xin Lifeng nearly bit his own tongue.

Nascent Soul and Golden Core not that different?!

He hadn’t heard this theory in hundreds of years.

”Yes, not that big, of course, I’m speaking from a pure energy standpoint.” Manager Zhang nodded.

”The biggest difference between Golden Core and Nascent Soul is actually in their connection with the world, which Boss Xin must be aware of.”

”And what does this connection bring? It’s the ability to control external energy from the heavens and earth, allowing for faster recovery, including the use of Instant Teleportation!”

”But, setting aside these aspects, just looking at the internal energy?”

”That is, when Nascent Soul doesn’t have time to use those unique abilities, how much more energy does it have than Golden Core?”

”Sorry, I’m not a researcher, so I can’t provide specific data, but from our experience, we’ve found that the gap between Golden Core Early Stage and Nascent Soul Early Stage is only around double.”

”Mid and late stages don’t differ much either!”

”So, theoretically, if a Nascent Soul Early Stage doesn’t use those unique abilities, three Golden Core Early Stages can securely suppress the enemy!”

”Of course, we’re not so unenlightened to let them use such powers, so we can only enhance our short-term explosive power here!”

”Eighteen Golden Cores can release energy within a few seconds, making it impossible for the enemy to suppress the violent energy within their body, thereby losing combat power!”

”And if you want the opponent to perish directly, that’s straightforward, just add two or three more Golden Cores. With a coordinated effort, you can instantly push the opponent into a self-destructive state.”

”But such an approach would result in heavy casualties for us, so for now we’ve preliminarily settled on eighteen.”

Manager Zhang spoke eloquently, leaving Xin Lifeng’s brain throbbing.

It should be battles fought with lives, but listening to you makes it seem so... simple?!

He vaguely understood why Lord Lu’s trump card was this team!

If they had planned everything in advance, they were truly a trump card!

After a moment of silence: ”Can I observe?”

Xin Lifeng made this request!

Yes, a request!

At this moment, he no longer had the aloof feeling stemming from his cultivation.

These people were formidable enough to earn his respect!

”Of course, we’d be delighted!”

Dawa agreed with a smile: ”We’re preparing to attack the next target city too!”

...

Soon after, Xin Lifeng witnessed a battle that he could hardly believe.

Indeed, it was just eighteen Golden Cores.

They didn’t resort to assassination, sneak attacks, or anything unusual.

They boldly entered the city.

Then strode into the City Lord Mansion, demanding to see the City Lord.

The City Lord, facing eighteen Golden Core Stage members, naturally couldn’t remain indifferent, especially in Northwest Gourd Island.

Thus!

They met!

Then!

While the Nascent Soul City Lord was still smiling and asking where these people came from...

The eighteen Golden Cores moved!

The distance between them was very short, almost instantaneously, the eighteen controlled the Nascent Soul City Lord.

Head, hands, feet, legs, and arms were all controlled.

Then, as the Nascent Soul City Lord just realized something was amiss and was about to get angry, they bombarded the Nascent Soul City Lord’s Dantian relentlessly!

Meanwhile, those Golden Cores who controlled the Nascent Soul City Lord were all channeling violent energy into the Nascent Soul City Lord’s body!

As someone in the Out-of-Body Stage, Xin Lifeng clearly sensed it.

After the energy of the eighteen entered the Nascent Soul City Lord’s body, it collided with each other according to a certain pattern!

Causing the energy to become increasingly violent, almost exploding!

Thus, this Nascent Soul City Lord was momentarily overwhelmed with suppressing the internal energy, unable to counterattack!

”Succeeded?”

Xin Lifeng stared blankly at the scene, unable to resist a twitch of his mouth.

He recalled a word the babysitters used to say—simple!

Yes, simply simple!

So damn simple!

Meeting, charging, channeling energy!

And then nothing further!

The dignified Nascent Soul Stage had been subdued so effortlessly?!

No bombardment, no plots, no secret skills!

Just so simple!

He looked at these eighteen Golden Core members, then at the distant ten thousand Golden Core members.

Ten thousand divided by eighteen!

He couldn’t help but calculate a math problem!

Then!

Sweat poured!

If we add the ten thousand from the Dragon Group?!

Twenty thousand Golden Cores!

How many Nascent Souls could they deal with?!

Moreover, he knew where these Nascent Souls were sent!

These Nascent Souls would be sent to Lord Lu, and just like controlling him, they would be controlled!

Thus, a conversion formula appeared!

How many loyal Nascent Souls could twenty thousand Golden Cores equal to Lord Lu?!

And what if Nascent Souls also found a simple way to deal with the Out-of-Body Stage?!

Then continue this logic?!

Gulp!

Xin Lifeng swallowed hard!

He felt the world was about to change!

His impression of Lord Lu had always been about intelligence, using plans invisible to others to crumble a force from within!

But now it seems, he saw only a part!

This straightforward conquest is also Lord Lu’s forte!

He couldn’t help thinking!

If the plan proceeds smoothly.

Then when the high-end forces finish their struggle in the Chaotic Land...

Is there still space for those who once stood at the pyramid’s peak?!

Thinking of this, he felt heated all over!

It’s as if the plan he once spent over a hundred years preparing, only to fail, is now right before him?!

He felt some disbelief, but more was anticipation and excitement!

It’s coming, truly coming!

...

But it’s not what Xin Lifeng thought that came the fastest, rather the ten thousand Iron Cavalry who found a way!

Previously, they couldn’t handle one city a day and needed the babysitters!

But now, they pulled up several cities in one day, bringing nearly half of Northwest Gourd Island under Lu Xiaobu’s rule before anyone realized!
