I Can Control Resources

...

Well, this was awkward.

Gao Neng hadn’t expected his brilliant performance to be seen through so easily. His identity, exposed in a single glance?

Two Tier Nines!

’Even if I can see their weaknesses, they probably won’t be easy to deal with, right?’

Just as he was thinking this, the Blood Race Tier Nine and the White-faced King slowly approached him, though they weren’t moving very fast.

It was clear that the Blood Race’s Tier Nine expert was extremely cautious. Even though he was a Tier Nine, he didn’t attack immediately, especially after having witnessed Gao Neng’s power.

"Be careful. I’ve heard that Gao Neng has some kind of Illusion Technique. We’d best not get too close!" the White-faced King said again as he prepared to strike.

"Yes, Blood Grand Marshal has already sent over the intel," the Blood Race’s Tier Nine expert nodded.

An Alien Race Alliance Army of 200,000 had suffered a crushing defeat at Gao Neng’s hands.

And the Blood Race had lost a Blood Grand Marshal.

News of Gao Neng’s Illusion Technique had naturally spread throughout the alien races long ago, so both of them were deliberately maintaining a suitable distance.

’This is a little troublesome...’ Gao Neng wasn’t afraid of the two Tier Nines before him; rather, he knew there were other Tier Nines in this Royal Hall.

"Gao Neng!" The White-faced King’s gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Gao Neng. "I truly never imagined... that you would dare to impersonate the Ninth Princess and sneak into the Blood Race Royal Hall. I really don’t know whether to call you bold or just naively suicidal!"

As soon as the White-faced King finished speaking, he attacked.

He thrust out a palm from a distance.

The air in the room seemed to freeze in an instant.

The Ice and Snow Race.

They were born with mastery over frigid energy.

And as a Tier Nine King Realm expert of the Ice and Snow Race, the White-faced King was naturally anything but weak.

Gao Neng couldn’t possibly block such a palm strike head-on.

So, he immediately dodged.

BOOM!

A large patch of ice appeared on the ground.

"Vice Corps Commander, let’s attack together! I’ll take the left, you take the right! Block his escape route!" The White-faced King’s eyes narrowed as he called out to the Blood Race’s Tier Nine expert.

But just as the White-faced King’s words fell, the body of the Blood Race Tier Nine, who had been about to attack, suddenly trembled.

It wasn’t just the Tier Nine expert.

The expressions of the other high-tier experts and the Blood Shadow Army soldiers around them changed drastically as well.

"NO!!!" the Blood Race Tier Nine expert roared. Then, he turned and ran as if his life depended on it, in an absolute frenzy.

"AHH!"

"No, impossible!!"

"NOOO!!"

The other members of the Blood Shadow Army went crazy too.

Without a moment’s hesitation, every last one of them fled.

Not a single one showed any intention of staying to fight.

"..." The White-faced King was speechless.

’No? No what?!’

For a moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

’What is going on?!’

He looked around. Not a single Blood Shadow Army soldier was left.

They had all vanished without a trace.

’Aren’t we fighting anymore? This is Gao Neng! The one all the alien races want to kill! He’s right in front of us, trapped with no way out! And you’re all just... running away?’

The White-faced King truly couldn’t process it. ’What could possibly be more important than killing Gao Neng? Aren’t you going to avenge your Fourth Prince?’

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a miserable shriek echoed from a corner of the room.

The Fourth Prince’s soul had just been obliterated by a single strike.

The one who acted was, naturally, Gao Neng.

"You... you killed the Fourth Prince?!" The White-faced King watched as the Fourth Prince’s soul dissipated into motes of light. For some reason, he felt a sudden chill.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"City Lord of Ice City, White-faced King! It’s just you and me now. Why don’t you take a guess... why do you think I agreed to your request to keep you by my side?" Gao Neng didn’t know why the Blood Shadow Army had fled, but whatever the reason, only the White-faced King remained.

"You knew my identity all along? No, wait... you... you were after the resources I have on me?!" The White-faced King froze for a second before the realization hit him.

"That’s right!" Gao Neng nodded.

At the same time, he stopped hiding. Since there was no one else here and his identity was already exposed, it was time for a bloody battle.

SWISH!

SWISH!

With a single thought.

Eighty-nine genetic weapons materialized out of thin air around them.

The entire room was filled with dark shadows.

"NO!!!" the White-faced King screamed. Then, without giving Gao Neng a single chance to attack, he turned and fled in a frenzy.

’Trying to run? Where are you going to run to?’ Gao Neng was actually a little speechless.

’What the hell? What happened to the mighty Tier Nine? He’s running away just like that? Anyone who didn’t know better would think I was a damn Strongest!’

Gao Neng gave chase.

But he was quickly intercepted by two Warriors from the Ice and Snow Race.

Gao Neng recognized these two Ice and Snow Race Warriors. They were the attendants who had been protecting the White-faced King all along, and their strength was also high-tier.

"Lord City Lord, run!"

"Leave this to us!"

The two Ice and Snow Race Warriors were completely fearless in the face of death.

Naturally, Gao Neng didn’t hold back.

The genetic weapons swarmed forward.

In a matter of moments, they cut down the two Ice and Snow Race Warriors.

He even destroyed their souls for good measure.

However, in that short time, the White-faced King had gotten away.

’Where did he run off to?’ Gao Neng’s eyes narrowed.

He activated his Ghostly Ghost Eye.

Three hundred and sixty degrees, no blind spots!

And it even came with X-ray vision.

"Hm? He went in the direction of the Blood Pool?! And the Blood Shadow Army... they all went there too!" Gao Neng’s heart tightened. His intuition told him that something must have happened at the Blood Pool.

The troublemaker...

It had to be Gao Xiaomeng.

’I just don’t know how things are going over there.’

The Blood Pool was guarded by the Strongest, Qin Blood. It was a huge question mark whether Gao Xiaomeng, all on her own, could successfully pull off a base raid against Bloodthirst.
