I Can Control Resources

...

In the main hall of the Federation Government building.

Liang Qi and the surrounding reporters had been dumbstruck for a while now.

Wu Qingjing was a Tier Nine powerhouse!

Luna and Uncle Bai were both at the Tier Eight Late Stage.

Could three such individuals, joining forces against a single Tier Six Late Stage fighter like Gao Neng, possibly fail?

There was no way it should have ended in an upset.

But in reality, the moment the three of them loudly declared they were going to fight Gao Neng, it was as if they had fallen under a spell.

The first to make a move was Wu Qingjing.

However, his target wasn’t Gao Neng. It was Luna.

And what’s more, Luna also charged at Wu Qingjing. The two of them clashed as if they were seeing red.

The outcome was predictable: Luna was sent flying.

"What’s going on?!"

"What’s wrong with Speaker Wu and Luna?"

"..."

Before the reporters could even process what had happened, Uncle Bai of the Celestial King Group also went berserk.

He joined Luna in besieging Wu Qingjing, and he even managed to land a sneak attack. Taking advantage of the moment after Luna was injured again, he slammed a palm into Wu Qingjing’s back.

The surrounding reporters gasped in astonishment.

Of course, Wu Qingjing was still incredibly powerful. His Tier Nine strength was undeniable. Even after taking a palm strike, he still managed to knock both Luna and Uncle Bai to the ground.

But that wasn’t the crucial point!

The crucial point was that Gao Neng had barely moved a muscle from the very beginning. He was just standing right between the three of them, yet they had all completely ignored him.

"It must be an Illusion Technique!" Liang Qi was also a Tier Eight, and he could clearly sense that Wu Qingjing and Luna were desperately unleashing waves of mental energy. This was a clear sign they had fallen for an Illusion Technique and were trying to break it.

But the result was that the three of them were constantly trying to break the spell with their mental energy, yet they kept falling back into the Illusion Technique and attacking each other relentlessly.

This was what made it so terrifying!

Normally, once an Illusion Technique was broken, it would be much harder to fall for it again.

At the very least, there should have been some interval in between.

But Wu Qingjing, Luna, and the others were acting as if they hadn’t broken free at all. This situation was truly abnormal.

"Gao Neng!!!" Just then, Wu Qingjing let out another furious roar. A terrifying aura erupted from his body, spreading out in all directions like waves.

Clearly, Wu Qingjing had been plunged deep into an Illusion Realm. In his mind, he had even forgotten that he was still in the main hall of the government building.

"This is bad!"

"Quick, get back!"

"Protect the reporters! Get them out of here!"

The staff and security in the hall immediately sprang into action, moving to escort the reporters toward the entrance.

Liang Qi also retreated.

But Gao Neng did not.

Because four cloaked, shadowy figures now surrounded him, each one of them also emanating a terrifying aura of energy.

BOOM!

BOOM!

The auras of energy clashed continuously.

As the surrounding reporters were pulled back, they made a final, desperate effort to record the scene of this great battle with their cameras.

They knew that right now in the City of Hope, hundreds of millions of viewers were watching this very scene on their televisions and through various media outlets.

This great battle in the Federation Government building.

It wasn’t earth-shattering.

But it concerned the lives of the twenty million citizens of the North District.

Thus, nearly every factory worker had stopped what they were doing, watching the figures on the screen through the shaky camera feeds.

"Gao Neng... he’s actually fighting the Chairman?!"

"One against three?!"

"..."

As ordinary citizens, they didn’t really understand much about high-tier combat, but even so, they could still tell that Gao Neng was fighting three opponents by himself.

In fact, they weren’t the only ones who were shocked.

At the entrance to the hall, Fang Tangtang was also stunned speechless.

On the way here, she and Gao Neng had been bragging to each other. Gao Neng had claimed he could slaughter an entire city by himself, while she had boasted that she could take out a Tier Nine with a single shot.

Back then, they had both shared a knowing smile.

But now, Fang Tangtang felt her heart begin to race with panic.

SWOOSH!

Just then, the four Tier Eight gene weapons surrounding Gao Neng also made their move.

Two of the four Tier Eight gene weapons shot straight toward Wu Qingjing, who was trapped in the Illusion Realm, while the other two charged at Luna and Uncle Bai, respectively.

BOOM!

Although Wu Qingjing was trapped in the Illusion Realm, he still retained some instinct for danger, so the two gene weapons’ attacks weren’t immediately effective.

Luna and Uncle Bai, however, were a different story.

The two of them had already taken two palm strikes from Wu Qingjing, and now they were facing two Tier Eight Late Stage gene weapons while trapped in the Illusion Realm.

Naturally, they were hit almost immediately.

BANG!

BANG!

Luna and Uncle Bai, who had just managed to get back up, were knocked to the ground once more.

However, at that very moment, a strange ripple appeared around Wu Qingjing’s body. This ripple was no longer a fluctuation of energy, but of source elements.

Wu Qingjing was known as an expert in illusion-based combat. His own Illusion Techniques were not weak, and in a sense, the methods he had mastered were even more sophisticated.

Therefore, when the source elements appeared, a bizarre scene unfolded in the hall.

With Wu Qingjing at the center, one after another, copies of him began to flash into existence, multiplying exponentially until they filled the entire hall.

"Is that Teacher’s Multiple Illusory Body technique?!" Seeing this from the side, Liang Qi immediately turned to the reporters. "Get out of here, quick! It’s dangerous!"
