As Li Wu logged out of the game, a surge of energy welled up from the depths of his soul, its violent force threatening to rip him apart. The overwhelming power crashed through every cell in his body like a raging flood, so domineering that he could barely keep control. Even though he had already heard about this from Helan Zhou and the others, he still couldn’t stop himself from roaring in pain. Fortunately, the sensation didn’t last long. His screams gradually turned into comfortable moans. The sounds were so unrestrained that even Li Wu felt embarrassed, yet he couldn’t hold them back—it simply felt too good. It was as if every cell in his body was cheering with joy.

Finally, it was over.

The feeling of power coursing through him opened up an entirely new world. He was certain that if he reached out, he could smash the game pod’s lid to pieces with a single slap. Still, Li Wu’s self-control held; he wasn’t about to start wrecking things the moment he gained Transcendent Strength. He pressed the switch, and the pod’s hatch popped open. Several faces with strange expressions came into view.

Li Wu silently lay back down and reached for the hatch to close it, but Helan Shan proved to be no “good son.” He blocked the door with one hand and grinned. “Sounded like you were having a pretty good time in there!”
