It was an adventurous decision that was made on August 4th to go to Long Snake Island. Without strength it would be impossible if one wanted to gain a foothold on the island. Not to mention that they didn't know what kind of dangers they would encounter in the coming days.
After the meeting, Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo, who were at the peak of second-level high-grade, unanimously took out the crystal nuclei collected in the past two days and prepared to breakthrough the third-level. A third-level ability user was currently a rare sight in the apocalypse and they became the well-deserved top dogs. If there were two third-level ability users in their team, it would shock the enemy into silence.
The two men let out pressure that were coming from their tents. The pressure showed that they were currently breaking through to the third-level and their group would soon gain two third-level ability users. After the pressure dissipated, a wave of visitors flooded Gong Lixin's tent.

Wang Tao, Gu Nan, Ma Jun and Sun Jie all visited him and donated several second-level high-grade crystal nuclei to the teenager. This was all for the sake of quickly upgrading their boss's strength. It had been a year and all the ability users in the base had all upgraded. Only their boss had never upgraded. They were in a hurry!
Gong Lixin strongly rejected their crystal nuclei. Just as he sent them away, Father Gong and Grandfather Lin came in. They also brought along with them four second-level high-grade crystal nuclei collected by the military. They also realized how abnormal it was for Gong Lixin's strength to not be promoted by a certain level. But they thought that Gong Lixin was a four-system ability user and the number of nuclei required for promotion was four times that of others, so they didn't think much of it.
This time, he couldn't refuse so Gong Lixin accepted them.
Sending away the two old people, he could feel the warmth from the faint light of the setting sun and rubbed his pink lips. He thought to himself: 'In order to cover up his martial arts, should he also advance?' The kind of pressure he released was almost the same as the pressure released by ability users that broke through to the next level. It should be easy enough to imitate. In his previous world, martial artists would often release pressure before fighting to annoy their opponent, and he had tried it before.
When he thought about it, he released his firm control over his Dantian and the overwhelming pressure from his body rushed out and slammed against the curtains of the tent. At the same time, a thin layer of cloud condensed. First being transparent before the cloud turned tangible as it slowly circled around him, causing his figure to look ethereal and otherworldly.
Everybody in the tents around him were either members of a team or were related to an ability user. Feeling this unusual oppression, they had difficulty breathing and were unable to stand. Those who were further away were forced down on their knees, but still rushed over to check the situation. They weren't able to even approach the tent that was ten meters away from Young Master Gong's tent. They could only wait and see. Even Gong Xiangyi, who was downtrodden, was influenced by this vast pressure.
"It's Young Master Gong's breakthrough! With such a strong pressure, I can't even stand anymore! What is Young Master Gong's level!" One of the ability users' face was flushed and could barely speak. All of his strength was concentrated into his legs, just to prevent himself from falling over and looking ugly in front of Young Master Gong.

"We don't know." Obviously, his companions were also trying to keep standing.
